Each and every time that people defend a console, someone answers "it's just a company, they're out to get money, nothing more". 

Yet, you are now stating that MS is doing this to create "a better experience for our fans"?  LOL.  They are doing this to get more cash into their own pockets, even if it means spending a bit more to get it.  Doing it for their fans?  Pft.  Those fans are the ones paying the money.  What would help to get those fans to spend their money?  Maybe DLC, okay, let's do that and get some more money out of their pocket.

It's some cute, cuddly intervention on MS' part to give their fans a better experience....unless their fans are willing to fork over their money.

Same goes for Sony and exclusive content for multiplats (yay for stupid time trials in Mirror's Edge).

 

 

I'm not sure what exactly you're trying to argue. I keep rereading the bolded part and am clueless as to what you're trying to say. It sounds like you're trying to paint MS as a money hog and they're only funding DLC because they want to make more money. While conveniently forgetting that customers aren't forced to buy the DLC, they only buy it if they want to.

There is a correlation between people spending money on xbox products and MS "giving a better experience for our fans" (in the form of DLC). People aren't going to buy the DLC UNLESS they feel it makes the gaming experience better for them. We're xbox owners, not apple fanatics. And really, who gives a shit. If I love a game and exclusive DLC is released for it, EVEN FUCKING BETTER FOR ME! I'm supposed to be mad at MS for trying to make money by offering EXTRA gameplay long after the game has been released? If I don't care much for the game, I don't have to buy the DLC and I'm still a happy camper.
