Hit the nail on the head there. Other things:
-Unlock shit that is already on the Disk DLC.
-DLC that comes out days/weeks after the game is released.
-Overpriced DLC.
-HD games costing so much that they put good studios under due to one bomb. I know the studio takes this risk, but I dont like the idea of like 5 major companies making all the games.
-Licencing to play a game so there is no physical copy and or resale value. I was so pissed to buy a new copy of L4D2 on PC to find that all that was on the inside was a STEAM liscence key and a DVD with the shit that I could just download through Steam. This also includes the few XBL games I own. I dont mind taking advantage of STEAM's insane deals where games become like $2 but to pay full price for a game with $0 of value once you buy it is bullshit.
Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.
Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.
