SE has has a ton of success with it, and it won't be changing anytime soon. It starting with My Life As A King. The main game was $15, but if you wanted to unlock the extra quests, costume changes, extra character races, etc. you'd may the micro-transaction fees. If you bought them all the total price of the game went up to about $35 -$40.
Then they did it again with the Final Fantasy IV sequel though they were even nastier with that. Main story was $8, but it wasn't even really the main story. It was the first half of the main story. You actually had to buy the final chapters. And there was still a bunch of middle/filler chapters. All of that combined brought the game up to $35 or so.
I didn't know they were doing that?
It figures though. I mean, they did charge $40 for Chrono Trigger DS!
Still mad at Gyromancer though since I was looking forward to it.
By the way, that FFIV thing is really despicable!

extra cars, extra costumes, even extra maps and weapons all ought to be free IMO

Listen to Wu-Tang and watch Kung-Fu
The game is fantastic and even arguably better and more addicting than Puzzle Quest. Unlike Puzzle Quest, Gyromancer is more skill than luck which makes it more addictive.
Still, the DLC thing was stupid. SE should've waited a month to release them instead of doing it on its release day. And now I'm hearing that people can't access the extra maps, which is weird.

But Square-Enix takes selling DLC already in the game to a whole new level of disgust!
Gyromancer came out today on XBL. And I was excited about it, but after seeing
what they're doing, I'm not very excited anymore.
