| Dodece said: I have never understood why someone should have a grudge against both Microsoft or Bethesda when it comes to these content packages. Microsoft probably paid up front for this content, and that paying up front took the risk off of Bethesda. Neither company did anything wrong. Microsoft got something good for their customers. Bethesda took a guaranteed pay day rather then taking a major risk. Hello this is common sense. The only one anyone should be upset with is Sony. You got your exclusive content from them day one. That would be that BluRay player many of you were bragging about two years ago. So go shove in a disc, and enjoy your exclusive Fallout content. Now if that exclusive content is leaving a sour taste in your mouth well then you know what to do its called a Gamespot. Speaking of the game of the year edition. I would not hold my breath on getting this content that way. I can about guarantee you that Microsoft paid a premium for this, and when Microsoft pays for the premium there is no way they let it slide down to Sony. We have heard this alluded to enough. That Microsoft will nix a deal if the developer plans to delay deliver premium content. Microsoft does not pay for PS3 development. |
I guess they used a different contract for Bioshock and Tales then. Also I'd note that despite all the exclusive Oblivion content the game showed up with all major DLC on PS3. I'd reverse your arguement. If Bethesda have any smarts its timed and that way they get MS money up front and PS3 owners money later.
For the record I don't have any grude against any one company, I just personally dislike any exclusive DLC (whether it favours PS3 or 360). That's may fair opinion. I'd prefer games and any DLC to be either properly exclusive (like Gears and Killzone) or not. This half assed the game is 9/10ths multi-platform 1/10th exclusive is just dumb IMHO.
It simply denies consumers who purchased a game in good faith (because I don't believe that half the people buying Fallout or GTA or Mirrors Edge looked online nor knew about exclusive DLC) later access to content (which admitedly many probably won't even know their missing).
But I'm big on consumer rights - and I think this approach is one that should be frowned upon.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
