No of course not, extinguishing someone's life to obtain whatever is in that person's wallet or purse is different than a company trying to earn money for a product they release. The fact that you compare the two is actually quite revealing of your mindset, in which case I feel so sorry for you.

and since when is f2p the only way to make money in the industry? did i dreamed all those years where i played games without a f2p monetization?

Since F2P came about it made more companies switch their games to that model than P2P at least for Multiplayer titles

cannot think about a sale-concept which is more anti-consumer than this

Than I feel so sorry for you F2P is the reason why games like League of Legends and other PC Titles continue to dominate the PC Market while other titles that are B2P (aka Brink) fail miserably. F2P is so powerful that current games with other models are adapting their games to it because the tradtional model doesn't work well anymore (with exceptions to CoD and other major established franchises).

I'm so grateful that you aren't in charge of SOE business decisions, what a relief!!
