They are a favourite in my household too, again because they make entertaining, well polished, and not excessively priced casual games that several of us enjoy. If even companies like that are succumbing to the allure of ongoing charging, they'll lose us as well.

Popcap is owned by EA, who is well known for being heavy handed with their studios. EA happens to really like the IAP model.

I'm afraid for Mirror's Edge 2. Even Dragon Age saw the beginnings of this, with "Bioware points" used for DLC.
