I wonder what will happen if SONY take up a similar policy, since that would work just as well for them, only really EA, Activision-Blizzard and Ubisoft are big enough to actually fight such a policy. (The Battlefield content change was due to EA/SONY since they are too big to be influenced this much by Microsoft) Overall i would say i am not liking Microsoft's policy at the moment since it only effects one system, though if it becomes standard across all systems it might just end up benefiting gamers (the idea of games being different depending on what platform you buy it on is kinda scary, i already dislike discrepancies with DLC release dates....) |
i doubt it would i don't think microsoft would ever be that cruel to force publishers to turn down timed dlc, but if they were i have a feeling this will bite microosft back on the ass early next gen when publishers and devolopers side with ps3, no body likes an asshole and i doubt microsoft would be stupid enough to do that. if so they might be screwed
