It depends on what you're getting. If you're getting actually extra content (as in the case with Mass Effect), then I'm all for it. However, if companies start holding content back that they would have included with the retail product, then it's bad, very bad. You're already seeing cases of the latter practice happening too, with some games microtransactions merely opening up on-disk content.
This one is still good fun if you played it as a kid. I used to play this for hours with my brothers and cousins, into the morning (at least until RBI Baseball came out).
