nodunit 397 Posted November 28, 2011 (edited) Spending nearly the price of a new game just for a bunch of weapon skins?! HAhaha..wow..that..I just..wow..just...wow. The railworks one was interesting..you could either buy all of that for the price of VBS2, quaint. One of the latest is a mission segment in Human Revolution..I remember when DLC was in theory supposed to be a digital replacement to expansion packs, expanding the life of the game (like expansions did) not stuff you cut from the game and some silly bullshit reskins.

HyperU2 11 Posted November 28, 2011 I think my grandfather had that much money tied up in a massive model train set. I can see the appeal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Innomadic 10 Posted November 28, 2011 Model trains are far superior to a videogame about trains. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tonci87 163 Posted November 28, 2011 You buy a game for money, and if you like it you buy more game for more money. Unfortunately the only word in that sentence companies heard was "money" several times and then a bunch of cash register sound effects. And this is the Problem Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
metalcraze 290 Posted November 30, 2011 And if only mainstream devs/publishers were doing stupid shit like that. It's really a massive facepalm about how SimBin and Slightly Mad Studios ('will' in case of SMS and their upcoming CARS) milk the community and you'd think hardcore sim developers would at least show some courtesy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bangtail 0 Posted November 30, 2011 (edited) Sorry, but the only reason DLC etc has ever been successful is because people buy it. Everyone complains but the fact that it is still being produced is proof that people are still paying for it. If the gaming community in general wants it to stop, they need to stop paying for it. Petitions, forums posts etc will never stop these greedy c*cksuckers. The one thing that will stop them, is denying them their revenue streams.

NoRailgunner 0 Posted November 30, 2011 Well many people are just a little bit lazy and like the charts/bestsellers/blockbusters/trends & hype etc. Its so much easier to believe in promises + advertisements aka trailers/teasers + self-adulation of publishers/devs. ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dm 9 Posted December 1, 2011 Sorry, but the only reason DLC etc has ever been successful is because people buy it.Everyone complains but the fact that it is still being produced is proof that people are still paying for it. If the gaming community in general wants it to stop, they need to stop paying for it. Petitions, forums posts etc will never stop these greedy c*cksuckers. The one thing that will stop them, is denying them their revenue streams. Thats why I havent bought any of the last 3 CoDs, but sadly there are enough people out there that still will regardless (I'm reminded of the Steam "Boycott MW2" groups, that had 40,000+ members, 80% of which were "Currently playing: CoD MW2" on the day of release. People talk big, but rarely act on it) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dysta 10 Posted December 1, 2011 People can think a hollywood style scripting for a game can be done when he/she is using a toilet. Yet, people have to take several weeks or even months of research (A lot of money as well) to finish the scripting for putting realistic simulation into a game.

NielsS 10 Posted December 1, 2011 IMO main factor is: 1: 4000?? I don't know where you by your PC's man. 2: This is the reason consoles should only have kids games on them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
metalcraze 290 Posted December 1, 2011 1: 4000?? I don't know where you by your PC's man. I heard that if you'll take a mediocre hardware and draw a shiny apple cultist symbol on it the price tag suddenly goes from 3 digits to 4. Must be some dark magic.

dmarkwick 261 Posted December 1, 2011 I heard that if you'll take a mediocre hardware and draw a shiny apple cultist symbol on it the price tag suddenly goes from 3 digits to 4.
