Or perhaps just "the fall of transparent gaming costs". Apparently the games are still paid, just pay-as-you-go without any clear/simple way to determine how much the game will cost to complete?!
Exactly, and we pretty much have ourselves to blame. We prefer to get ripped off via "free" or low upfront costs, or "sales" taken off ridiculously inflated prices. Honest pricing is generally not rewarded; look at the Nexus One, or JC Penny's attempts at transparency.
