Here's the illogical reactions I'm seeing:
Scenario A:
EA releases DLC for $15
Reaction A:
Nobody fucking cares
Scenario B:
EA releases DLC for $15, and decides to give it away for free as incentive to new copy buyers
Reaction B: Outrage!
So the difference between the two scenarios, and the thing people are getting mad at is that:
EA IS GIVING AWAY SHIT FOR FREE.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Then people start saying "Well, I'm going to be skeptical, and without any basis, assume that EA is withholding content".
But they'll say they got that from the completely unbiased source of Kotaku, and drop their skeptical mentality there.
Way to have double standards guys.
Since when has giving away shit for FREE considered as a BAD thing? All I see is people who feel they are entitled to anything they want, and demanding EA to give them shit for free as well. |
Scenario C: EA give content for free for everyone like they did with Burnout Paradise.
Reaction C: Everyone thanks them, are super appreciative and say this is how other publishers should be.
The reason why I'm skeptical is because they already did this with Madden 10. They had a code in the box so new buyers could play online franchise mode. Now note that this mode is one of the defining features of the game and was present inside Madden 09 for everyone. This was an expected feature on the disc and it was withheld to be used for this security measure to fight used game sales. If they're willing to do it with Madden, then they're willing to do it with Bad Company 2. I'm not saying it's definitive, but based on knowledge of EA's past actions, it's the likelier of two scenarios.

Looks like its not in the game.

That's the inherent definition of a DOWNLOADABLE content. If it was in the game, it wouldn't be a DLC.
