Has anyone looked at applying this to the non-gaming market? I'm guessing the emotional attachment isn't as much but you are still attached from the time you have invested.

Let's take Word for example. You write a three page document, you want to save it? That's $1 please. Printing? That's another dollar. Oh you don't like Cambria? You can unlock Times New Roman for $10, or our Business Serif Pack for $49!

I guess it's similar to shareware, but more annoying...
