@probable: You know Probable, it looks like you're right about that. I missed that part. Cheers!

This was confirmed over a year ago in Respawn's job listings, by the way.

This article has been incorrectly quoting the wrong Gears of War review for like 5+ years at this point. Does nobody proofread any of this?

This isn't being done for consumer ease of use; this is how they're going to "justify" shutting down the old games significantly faster than they use to. By placing them all in the same software app, new releases are now DLC (albeit still priced at $70).

Nine whole dollars... whoah, yeah... big time savings. My condolences to the staff members that have to write these advertisements. I know it's not by choice.

Good. Punish people for being garbage people. Bury them in the garbage they emerged from and then make them pay damages for littering.

And it's going to be completely worthless a year and a half from now, when you won't be able to sell it for $10, and subsequently, will be able to purchase for <$10.

Unfortunately, impatience is ingrained in gaming culture, exacerbated by marketing and buzz words like "special edition."
