Because they don't really care about gaming and they managed to make many people believe that paying more for the same thing is awesome. Microsoft encouraged paid DLC, so much that they forbid companies who wanted to offer their content for free to publish it on the Xbox Live market place. The result of Microsoft's practices is that content is stripped out of games to sell it for an additional cost to the consumer. What used to be unlockables, now comes at an extra cost. Games can also be shipped without proper quality assurance and be patched later on. With every passing year, gaming takes more and more a backseat at their E3 conference and the Xbox brand will probably transform into a Microsoft branded PC that is meant to be put in people's living rooms. It's going to be a PC without the benefits of PC gaming, because Microsoft will control the system. |
Well, considering the rising costs of developing games nowadays I understand the paid DLC idea. But, we could also blame MS for the high costs of developing games since they launched the first HD system. But then again, Epic really pushed them to make Xbox360 as powerful as possible. So, really, it's Epic's fault all this!!! And really, developers could have chosen to release the DLC for free on the PS3 - if they wanted to.
And it's not really evil by MS to turn the Xbox into a useless PC; it would just be stupid by costumers to buy it if it wasn't what they wanted.

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.
