The world of video games (just like everything in life) is dynamic, so 20 years from now it doesn't mean we'll have to pay for each level/mission we play. Video game styles and concepts will change just as times change. Today we're facing with piracy so everyone is testing various protection methods (DRM and many more to come). Then there's also the mmorpgs that you buy or pay to play on a monthly basis. One thing is for sure, nowadays, the quality in games is decreasing rapidly. You spend much less time on a game, but better graphics and/or character immersion etc. Everything is a lot more commercial and pointed towards casual players that bring in the big bucks for the companies.
