How long until RPG's have one class and 3 unlockable classes? How long until the next bih FPS is just so insanely hard you're forced to buy extra shield power or better weapons? This is worse than always-online, this is worse than DRM, this is literally game breaking unless you fork out more and more money.

Oh yeah, it's only a matter of time until this infests full price titles as a whole. At first it'll be like this, relatively benign. But as you said, soon the devs are going to get orders from higher up to make the game onerous to play without forking over cash to grease the wheels.
