Hehe, wow, commendations to you there rebeldoughnut, i havent seen posts this long and detailed for a while, i'm not used to all the reading! But however i totally agree with pratically everything you've said.
Its kind of like getting people addicted to the game, but not actually addicted as in theyll die without it. Once they have played it for a while, theyll continue regardless, something, as you've said, games companies, like SEGA, know! They charge the amount they charge for Hunters Licenses' because they know they've got a great game on their hands that people will continuessly play time and time again - as theyll continue to do with the PSO series in the future (With Blue Burst for example).
Thats why Bungie have done it with Halo 2, because they know its going to sell. Games with constantly loads of online players, and especially games with fansites, such as this (PSO), or most likely Halo fansites out there (I actually havent seen any of them come to think of it, but they must be there!), that could be considered legendary, will most likely come in the future at costs, because developers know its still going to sell, and well at that.
I tell ya, it shows you're doing a degree with Games Development aspects in! In fact, thats what i'm going into next year ^_^ Know-how comes in handy obviously!
