2. Players with lots of time on their hands, will eat through all that content in 1 - 2 months, and then they will whine about having nothing to do until the next major content patch.
3. Activision is VERY greedy. They HAVE to be greedy in order to show to the shareholders that constant growth, and growth can only happen if Activision's profits are higher and higher every quarterly report. When you sell a product to a limited amount of customers, the only way for you to get more money than the customers pay for your product, is to make them buy all sorts of accessories that go with the product, so that your revenue increases past what you got from selling the boxed product. It's not a matter of Ion being greedy, it's a matter of Activision DEMANDING him to be greedy, and him wanting to keep his job.
