| dreamcast210 said: All the negativity people have toward EA Access reminds me of the original Xbox days when Splinter Cell 2 had some DLC come out and it cost $5. People were up in arms complaining, saying they wouldn't buy it. Fast forward to now and few expect not to pay for DLC. It's a standard. EA Access (more likely something akin to it in a subscription model) is a future we'll all come to accept in five years. Get over it. |
Yea, the above is standard now. And it sucks. Don't tell people to "get over it" when we see a shitty practice coming from miles away. You know what happened when you "got over it"? On-disc DLC; content already on the disc, locked behind a paywall. DLC for Day 1 purchases; punishing people for not buying the game at launch. DLC planned before the game even releases; content which they could have just put into the game that's still being developed. Being complacent and "getting over it" allowed this crap to become the norm.
If bullshit is preventable, then you should fight against it by all means, not "get over it" and let it become standard. Otherwise, the Xbox One, for example, would have its original vision fulfilled and we'd all have to just "deal with it" being the standard for video games, moving forward. Imagine how you'd react if the attitude to 24-hour check in and other forms of DRM was "get over it". Actually, I'm pretty sure that's what MS said (well if you can't deal with XBone and 24 hour check-ins, we still have a great platform called Xbox 360) and there was outrage.
