In my opinion the reason they are doing this is simply to free domains and have users shell out the $80 to unfreeze them. Think about it, with the under $10 they charge per domain name thats 8 years you have to be with them before they see $80 of revenue, which isn't even profit, or they can freeze your domain and get $80 from you, $79 of which is profit, not have to care about your ass for eight years and even if you transfer off. How many domains are even eight years old vs 1, 2, 3 or 4 years, certainly a very very tiny portion.
Its all in the $$$.

Great point!
The reason DirectNIC cannot charge less is we have 24/7 live customer support. It is expensive to staff customer support people 24/7 ( and to not have them in India!) We feel giving our customers top notch support is more important then saving a buck. We also do not play games. Most discount registrars play games. You will usually end up paying more, one way or the other.
