I voted 'No'.
Whilst I can understand that a developer needs to pay their employees, I always understood it to be that the money made from the sale of the game tends to pool into the 'income' section for a developer.
Whilst I agree that a person is entitled to ownership of their ideas, and should have the right to determine how those ideas might be used, the game industry already ensures this due process.
Pay to play would potentially ensure long term revenue for the developer, but to me, it seems a little 'greedy'. Perhaps I'm misinformed, so I'm open to different opinions.
Admittedly, if I really liked the game, I'd consider paying to play it, but only in an online sense. If I'm expected to pay for single player, then I won't be paying for anything at all.

Just to play the game? Like WoW? No, probably not. For premium services or optional content, maybe.
This is reasonably fair, but the premium content would need to be comprised of completely new features; I will not pay for content that was previously free.
