Awesome show, it is something that has bothered me too. If I don't like the look of a game of sequel I just avoid the threads altogether.
I don't know where people find the time to rant and argue over a game or topic especially due to the fact that they are unlikely to change anyone's opinion or perception of said content.
It is something I see a lot with films and is slowly moving into the video game community. Damn trolls are breeding I tells ya!
Why are people being so bitter/ cynical about the success of what is effectively a season pass that is becoming more commonly used in big titles?
Yes, we get it, this is not like the good ol' days, but unfortuantly developing, promoting and the overall creation of games is costing more and more and is being hurt by the preowned market. As such this is a good way of the business to recoup some money whilst ensuring customers will keep, and play, their game for longer.
If you don't like the scheme then fair enough, but voicing it here on Gamespot isn't going to stop EA nor is it going to stop a fan of BF3, such as myself from buying it as I intend to purchase the map packs as and when they are relased anyway. If you aren't, don't buy it. That's going to reach EA far more than a comment on a gaming site.
Personally I'm glad it's a success and if it happens to be in the future that you can get DLC cheaper so long as you remain loyal then I'm all for it. Sure would have saved me a lot on Borderlands!
@1337hackz $10 is still a fair amount of cash which could be used on other things. I'm talking as if someone was to buy the map packs as they are ANYWAY they are saving themselves money whilst recieving a number of other incentives.
