From Webster's
Extort: to obtain from a person by force, intimidation, or undue or illegal power : wring; also : to gain especially by ingenuity or compelling argument
Is EA forcing you to buy it? Are we being intimidated to buy it? Are they doing something illegal? No.
So they are not extorting anyone.

How is it entitlement to want something intentionally cut from the game your buying just because there greedy?
Because it's their product, to do what they want with, including establishing terms of sale. You're the consumer; you vote with your wallet. If you go to a market and find they are doing a two for one sale on apples, you don't get to complain that you're entitled to that same deal for the rest of your life, merely because they changed the service. You either accept the terms offered to you, or you don't.
Likewise here. Buy the character. Or don't.

I honestly hope nobody actually buys the dlc than so it will send a message but unfortunately that will not happen.

Is the very specific Prothean we are talking about so integral to Mass Effect 3, that the original product doesn't make sense or isn't worth the 60 dollars?ironcreed2 wrote...
How about the fact that the Protheans were established as an integral part of the story in Mass Effect 1. Is that not reason enough that this character should have just been included in the game, or at the very least, included with every new copy of the game?
I simply think the fact that he is a Prothean carries enough weight that he should have just been a part of the game. Nothing more, nothing less. Anyway, I am not here to whine, as I know die-hard fans will defend paying more for day one DLC until the end of time. I just wanted to say that there are those of us who do not feel entitled for more, just entitled to what easily could have (and in the old days very much would have) just been a part of the game.
In summary, this "pay more for this, pay a little more for that" day one DLC appraoch is simply getting ridiculous for some of us. That is all I am going to say on the matter here. Enjoy your Prothean, as well as the game. I'll just enjoy the game without it as a matter of principle.

Not having the Prothean squadmate does not affect your ability to complete the game at any level, therefore, within the context of the game you do not REQUIRE it, just because you WANT it doesn't mean that to by not being able to implicitly play it will leave you with a broken game experience.
Of course people feel that it is important from a Lore perspective, but that lore is based on Prothean civilization of 50000 years ago, and yes, having the character may fill in some blanks regarding the Protheans but in a similar fashion no-one would know about Grey boxes, if it weren't for Kasumi

It just boggles my mind on how a PROTHEAN squadmate, A FREAKING PROTHEAN, one of the most important races in the Mass Effect lore, is being exclusive to the CE owners and being in the form of DLC for the other customers. Why cant they make Vega a DLC character instead?

Crafting games is expensive and it won't be getting cheaper. Quite the opposite. Oh, and that next gen of consoles coming up? Expect dev costs to jump by quite a bit. When it comes down to it, devs will do whatever they have to to keep their families fed. Some are rich execs, true, but most don't make anymore that you do. If that means selling CE DLC separately to non-CE purchasers for an extra $10, they'll do it.

It's childish to think anything involving a video game is despicable. Grow a pair and don't buy it.
I preordered a CE last summer, because I'm pretty confident Bioware will continue to entertain me. If you've got issues with them, you're an idiot for buying their products. If you can't afford it, reprioritize or budget better. We're talking about $10, not interest rates on a house.
It is not the $10.00, it is the principle. Where I come from, not having principles is also deemed childish. I could easily afford it and I do indeed have the game pre-ordered. I simply feel that this is day one milkage on a character who should have been a part of the game to begin with.
Why doesn't it though? other than wanting more money there's no reason the Prothean shouldn't be part of the online pass.Blarty wrote...

As has been said numerous times before - the multiplayer component of ME3 is free for any new purchase but will need purchasing for pre-owned, so in this instance, the multiplayer component is 'Shale' or Cerberus Network from ME2 - the Prothean DLC is nothing to do with this status quo
