yep, 2008 i think, i just stumbled on it today though lol, had 3-4 years (perhaps even more) advance warning about all this, feels like shepard trying to tell everyone about the reapers but they didn't believe until it was too late (in this case shep would be warning about the rEApers)

*Ah yes, "Day one dlc on the disk" we have dismissed that claim*

The worst thing about all this is that its just going to get worse, they keep testing the water and ruining things piece by piece and in a few years we will all be paying to replay our games, or to save, or if we want to play multiplayer....

Sigh...

Yep, but if you  put a frog in boiling water he will jump out, but if you slowly heat water with a frog in it he will burn to death...


Its whats going on, they have a massive casual audience, there are small vocal groups for other games, but on the whole people will fork out and won't care, thats all EA needs, most people don't follow gaming or geek sites, so unless it briefly makes mainstream news, they wont even know theres a controversy.


What sadistic bastard came up with that saying anyway... probably an ancestor of an EA executive...

"we cut out content from the main game to make money off of gamers, storing it in day-one dlc form"
"I think it'd rather keep its own form"
"No it can't, without us to stop it, day one dlc would destroy all games, we've created this cycle so that never happens"
edit: "the paths are open, you must choose"
option 1- buy dlc
option 2- buy dlc
option 3- buy dlc
epilogue- don't forget to buy dlc

....

So, they are making a day one DLC to prevent DLC from taking over the universe and killing all DLC? 

How wonderfully.......  synthetic.

You thought going to the land of skyrim would bring change to the land of BSN, bring hopeful news about the extended cut... that your choices would matter, that hope would be restored... You were deceived... and now our thread will fall...

I always thought the question should be the other way "Give reasons why you like the ending?"
