Sorry, but this is a jerk thing to do. This is not a reward for dedicated fans-- this is an attempt to screw over a portion of the fan base. $15 for two maps if I buy used? Ridiculous.

How many people who buy used are going to actually know about this-- I'd bet not many. Most people will probably buy the game and later realize that EA has held back content. This will only upset customers.

The dedicated fans already pre-ordered the Limited Edition.

$70 used ($15 DLC-5 discount) vs $60 new.

And it's not held back content, as it was never on the disc. It's DLC, it's something completely extra.

 

Would you simply be happy if EA made it so that everyone had to pay $15 for the DLC? Way to try to drag everyone down with you, since you're too cheap to buy a game new and support DICE.

 

It's a GIFT, that they're giving to those who aren't willing to stuff Gamestop's coffers so that they can give "Power to the player".

That's a completely meaningless distinction.

For all you know it could of been held off the disc to be DLC.

Exactly.

If you ask for a chicken sandwich I give you a chicken sandwich without the chicken and then turn around to give you the chicken fillet on the side then am I giving you a gift or what you should have gotten in the first place?

Yes, but that argument only holds if the assumption that EA deliberately held off stuff as DLC is true. And that assumption is based off of no evidence whatsoever, but simply mistrust and cynicism.

And WoW, your analogy is bad because you're arguing that EA isn't giving the whole package (the chicken). My point is that EA has already given you the entire chicken sandwich. A used and newly bought disc have the same exact content on it. It is only that EA is making the price of the extra DLC $0 for those who bought the game new, and $15 for those who bought it used.

 

So let me ask what I asked before. Would you simply be happy if EA made it so that everyone had to pay $15? I'm sure you guys would have all changed your tune, drop the assumption that it was witheld content, and see it as something extra.

 

All you guys are asking for is entitlement to get what others got for their loyalty and dedication.


When dealing with companies, an assumption based on mistrust and cynasicm is FAR more reliable then an assumption based on optimism and well... blindness to how companies work. Your making the same assumption we are. The difference is, we're basing it off how companies operate, and your basing it off.... I don't even know what. I guess how we WISH companies operated. There is NO difference between DLC and DLC on a disc... none at all.
