That's not rewarding, that's just annoying as hell. When I buy a game, I assume that I'd be getting everything important unlocked out of the box. Unfortunately, I have to "earn" it, which just pisses me off even further.
Exact reason why gaming used to be a mentality for a smaller group of people and not mainstream. People who wanted casual gaming went to places like yahoo games. They did not own consoles or gaming pc's. But nowadays game companies have lost sight of what made a good game. Which is hte challenge and the skill required to beat a game. Not the I want to make a lot of money so I'm going to make this game so easy a 2 year can play it.

Don't forget we have to make all the smart kids dumb so that the dumb kids don't feel so dumb. Not to mention failing is almost impossible these days.
