As you can see the PS4 version of DA:I has sold as much as all other console versions of the game COMBINED(exactly I might add). Yet MS still was able to secure timed exclusivity for the DLC. (I am sure EA signed on to this before they saw how lop sided the sales would be)

This kind of stuff worked last Gen when the 360 regularly had the better selling version of multiplats.  This will not work this Gen. When you release something several months later to a userbase that is like 130% larger you are bound to lose sales, and alot of them.

Something has to give either Publishers will realize how dumb they are being or if MS is really paying them enough to compensate how much longer will MS be willing to pay what will be a larger and larger bill for these types of deals.

Pissing off most of your fans is never a good idea.

EA still has allot of work to do in regards to repairing it's reputation, abandoning timed DLC would be a great start.

yep. I can see it if the userbase is balanced. But when you are ignoring the vast majority of people that purchased your game it seems kinda stupid.

I am giving them the benefit of the doupt that they signed on to this well before the game went on sales.

Also did MS have the marketing deal for this? It would makes sense if they have the DLC deal. If so, wow. I guys those marketing deals are not that effective in some cases.

If they did it before the PS4 domination became obvious they are shit heads

If they did it after the PS4 domination became obvious they are stupid shit heads.
