Oh for the love of....These threads are getting more and more ridiculous.
I do hope you're referring to a generalized "you" and not me specifically. If you take the time to read the rest of the thread you will see my actual intent.
For the record, I have already long since ordered my CE copy of ME3. I guess I'm one of those bastard 1%-ers. I see nothing particularly wrong with what Bioware has done because I see no real
evidence they've done that which they are being accused. I do see a lot of very hypocritical nonsense being flung about, however.
This time it's "i don't want to pay the same amount as the CE buyers but it's unfair they get treated better!" um why? They made the investment in support of a franchise they love and deserve any extras they get free. SE buyers are buying just that. The game as standard as it comes. You need to pay for the extras if you want them. Nobody cheated you or decieved you or whatever else you may think. The game and DLC is their property and they have a right to do as they wish with it and sell it how they wish.
'Zackly.
If you had an item you sold on Ebay while selling extras that came with it seperately some people may complain that you are trying to make more money but you are within your rights to do so. It's YOURS. Nobody can decide how you sell your own property but you.
Same works for business and their individual creations,franchises,products etc.
A cogent point and true, except when it comes to games... we may
buy games, but we don't technically
own any of them. The game is content. EA, Bethesda, Blizzard and every other software company out there has something called a EULA that specifically tells you flat-out that they are selling you a
licence for that game that grants you the right to access that content - to play it. You do not now, nor have you ever, owned a single game sitting on your shelf. Not one. You got 20 games sitting there - you have 20 licences to play them. Not a bit of content on that disc belongs to you. Technically, neither does the box, manual or the DVD either. You don't own the operating system with which you play. Even if it crashes and takes all your vital financial records and all the rest - you're screwed, and the company that makes that OS owes you
nothing, their crappy coding or not, because you already agreed to the licence. Insisting you have rights to any of the content Bioware sells you is nonsense. They own it when they make it, they own it when they sell it to you, they own it when you play it and they own it sitting there in the box on your desk. Hell, technically, you don't even have rights to that custom Shepard you made. Your only right is to buy it or not buy it. Period.
Saying people who buy CE and SE should get the same thing is detrimental to those who make the investment for a CE. Personally i'd be a bit pissed off if my CE was exactly the same game as the SE since i paid more for it and specifically ordered the CE for the extra content and not just "swag" in the box.
Agreed. But I'm not actually advocating what you've described here. All I'm really saying is that until
you actually play the damn game and know for certain this DLC changes everything, folks have
no right to demand
anything from Bioware. Certainly not to get the DLC for free.
All it boils down to is the same nonsense that came out of the DA2 signiture edition. Some people pre ordered it on time and some did not and those that did not cried about not getting the free stuff that those that did got.
You didn't want to pre order the CE and pay extra but you want the same stuff for free that the CE got but you can't have it so you make another delusional thread that makes no sense saying CE should have to pay for the same DLC you do even though they already paid for it since they paid more than SE owners.
Take a look in the mirror and honestly ask yourself if you are saying this stuff because you are right or because you want something for free?
Well, I don't. It's already included. Nor did I say that CE owners would pay twice, but simply wait a bit longer. Everyone plays the game without the DLC.
Then everyone could come at this DLC from the same perspective. This topic got your attention, didn't it? You say how silly a perfectly reasonable (
and it is, as it only requires some patience) suggestion is, and now you can take it and contrast it with the nonsense being burbled everywhere else.
That's all I'm actually trying to do. It's not perfect, but I think it's worth a shot.
I also liked DA2, (
and liked Merrill!) which is pretty much considered tantamount to blasphemy in these forums, so I'm certainly no stranger to controversy.
