Who is Optional – A Question of Consumer Value

[Edeline]

When you go to a restaurant and buy a meal, do you demand a drink (other than ice water) for free? That soda you get with your meal is charged, if you order a beer, do you expect to pay for one and get 2 or 3 for free? That's what people are demanding here in essence. Your sub pays for the meal(base game, connection). Want that soda, or dessert? You pay extra.

Being technical in your metaphor, you're paying to enter the restaurant, not the meal. The meal is included as a free buffet. You choose what to eat once inside. The restaurant is divided by food sections. Hypothetically speaking you're a vegetarian person and you go to the vegetarian side of said restaurant with free buffet, then after you're eating your free food, they add new dishes on that side, but they cost money while people on the other side are eating meat as a normal free buffet. Because after all, being vegetarian is optional, and you have to pay more for more optional vegetarian dishes.
