Definitely a valid point. At the end of the day, we'll never know as customers the business-standpoint of such decisions. My gut instinct tells me that Dolloway's proposed model would fare better than the current system in terms of generated revenue. (Obviously, there will always be outliers who drop vastly higher amounts of $ on the game). Though I would think that with this new system, the on-average generated revenue would be equal or greater than the current system's revenue. Ultimately, though, it would lead to a more sustainable gaming experience both by increasing consumer welfare and keeping players more active (which I would think is a much better long-run investment).
