On your 1st point: You can't change the world over night and you can't expect people to fight your battles for you. I don't mean to come off as apathetic, but serious people understand that gay relationships in the game is optional and understand that people like the one you referenced should be shunned. If you were physically attacked or seriously threatened I would be the first to stand with you. On your second point: A company has every right to make money. Its how they function. If you don't like day 1 dlc and don't want to pay more for a different version then don't buy it. No one is forcing anyone to play anything. I'm really getting tired of people's who's opinions I've come to enjoy reading/respect badmouth capitalism. Ask CD Project Red how giving stuff away works. 2.7 million sold on two of the finest rpg's ever made; with about 4-6 million played in non-communist countries. They are now forced to work on 3 to 4 versions of the game for the next gen to get a return on the investment. So lets remember that games, just like anything else, are made to make money. That money funds future projects and retains talent. On your third point: I agree 100%. EA, like activision, are sucking the soul out of developers. Profit motive isn't the problem; stupidity is. Anyone with a business IQ over 50 would have known that these, among other suspect decisions in many of their recent outings, were jacked up. Thanks for another thought provoking article.
