Multi-movie contracts in Hollywood is like multi-year contracts in sports. If you don't want to play/show up on set, you don't have to play/show up on set. Just as no sports team wants an athlete who doesn't want to play, no production wants an actor who doesn't want to be there. It poisons the well. As such, actors, like athletes, re-negotiate the terms of their deal all the time, regardless of how many "years"/"movies" they initially signed up for. Of course he had a choice.

The people who draw up these big movie contracts are not stupid... no way on this earth they'd hire an actor who could get all precious and decide after one movie that he will um and ahh over future films. The man is *contracted* to appear in three films minimum. This is just Quinto exercising a right he DOES have, and that is to do any auxiliary products pertaining to the franchise... or not... such as video-games and whatnot. For me it was never in doubt that he'd be in Star Trek XII, or XIII by the same token. LOL… like he had a choice?
