Definitely a down side. Even if the game had only half the money sinks of previous games you'd still get massive bitching about it on forums and 3 page emo dissertations on the downfall of modern gaming.
But there's obviously a market for it, I've yet to see it stopped in a game. Games have to figure out if legitimizing it is worth it to them.
