I guess making fun of legitimate complaints is one way to feel superior. EA feels "entitled" to milk their customers because of people like you. You must have too much money.

Or our perspective is skewed somewhat by the fact that, back in the day, $60 bought maybe three hours of game time, and due to inflation actually cost more than $60 does now, so $70 for a twenty-plus hour game plus a 1-2 hour DLC just feels so much cheeper because of it. Especially since it probably cost the developer a lot more than that SNS game you used to love so much.

You gotta admit, games haven't quite reached the ridiculousness of your local gas station, at any rate...

The game does not cost $60 in every part of the world you know?
But well, since people only have one perspective of things and they like to feel superior, they make this kind of threads.

Lol @ how serious these boycotting retards are about some kind of organised resistance, as if BioWare was Skynet or something. It's friggin' DLC for Christ's sake, CE owners, like me, are paying for it as well (along with exclusive content) so if you want it cough up or **** off, nobody is forcing you to get it at the end of the day!

BTW I just love the total assumption that because he's Prothean, somehow the whole game revolves around him, based on absolutely no evidence whatsoever because nobody here has played the friggin' game yet. Get over yourselves & get a grip on reality!

I personally find it hilarious Biodrones like you think there's some sort of organized group.  I also find it hilarious people happily gobble up $80 Collectors editions that are filled with superfulous in-game items and cheaply made products.  Slurp it up big dawg.

Except EA will use faulty logic.  Even if hypothetically a signifigant number of people choose to shop elsewhere and not buy the game the falling sales won't make them look at things and go maybe we should change our strategy they will falsly blame it on piracy and simply continue doing it.

Then they will continue to lose business until they either figure it out or go under.

As much as I wangst about capitalism and the scumbaggery it encourages, sometimes the free market has its advantages.

I heard that in Iran, ME3 cost $2, but is only 4 minutes long, and Ashley wears a burkha the whole time.

I believe a boycott would actually be pretty effective. That is if the average gamer knew anything about boycotts at all. But here, I shall give you a hint.

You have to not buy the product. Saying you will not buy it on the official messageboard isn't enough.

The reason boycotts don't generally work is because the people supposedly boycotting really want what they're boycotting.

EA/Bioware is a company that's primary goal is to make money. Companys make money by making products that people desire /need, this is no different.

Nope. I already said it'd be like Zaeed: insignificant.

Some people get raped and say "thank you for raping me".

I'm glad I'm not like the OP.

Let's stop and think about this for a sec.

You just compared a company jacking up the price of a product to being raped.

Raped.

Ten bucks is marketing dickishness that you can simply not participate in.  Rape is a sick and abhorrent crime that damages the victim in more ways than one.

Priority check.

You're a class act, Admiral Cheez. Thank you for that comment.

*On a side note, I find the attitudes of everyone condescending the people who say they WILL boycott to be very disturbing. Why are you all so willing to allow companies like EA to continue fragmenting your games with so many pre order bonuses, store exclusives and various versions and DLC's, exploiting you and driving series into the ground?

First, this DLC is not fundamental for understanding or enjoying the story in ME3, it is merely an addition to the full game which happens to be based on the Protheans, specifically this one Prothean, its purchase is entirely optional to you.

Second, this has absolutely no impact on the future of the series as a whole. The game is complete even without the DLC's being made available through various places. They are meant to atract people to certain stores to increase sales for the developer and publisher as well as the stores.
If you really think otherwise, look at all the information regarding the game that is already available.

The game is said to be bigger and better and the first thing you do when you hear that DLC is being made available is complain about how you don't get it for free. 

[adawg828]

Agreed.

Thank you, Cheez. Nothing angers me more than when people throw the word "rape" around so lightly. 

Almost as much as wehn people throw around the words "entitlement"  or "entitlement mentality" when somebody so much as states their opinion on an issue.

Don't infect my post with your stupidity. Don't care about my point of view, keep it to yourself. I'm not rich, and the game costs $400 here. A stupid DLC $100, yeah a 1/4 of the game for just 20 mins of gameplay.

Yeah, rape is almost as bad as entitlement, huh? Almost.
