its about time something like this happened, i dont know too many other industries where you can release a half ass product and get away with it like you can in gaming
and how long until its the fastest subscriber losing mmo, honestly the game looks fantastic graphically but like many of Sonys other MMO offerings, the lack of content will do it in.
Couple of gripes: 1. mass effect 2 best of show ? Really... did you guys not even see god of war 3, oh wait thats right you guys were glued to the MS side of the building.
2. Valve is quickly becoming afflicted by consoleitis, when a dev goes to the console, all products heareafter become less than they could be. L4D2 won't even get a glimpse from me.
3. Where is HL2:episode 3, hasnt it been like 2 years ? Its been 5 years since HL2 came out, we deserve the damn episode already.
All that said, good article and Alan Wake looks cool
love it, love how 360 announcement is #1 because theyre about 2 years late with that tech...and who would actually do this for full titles ? Its like 4-6gb minimum on an already too small hard drive.
because you have no other choice, you will either buy it or you won't. PC people will always get it for free because piracy > devs. I remember that achorage dlc for FO3 dropped and when I saw how many of them had been downloaded by the end of the day, it was close to 120k :D
this is an easy answer to the question: as little content as possible and as much as they can possibly charge before people start bitching too much a la horse armor. Seriously, you guys are all sheep following what they want you to do. Im still DLC free and have played all of the FO3 ones, all the oblivion ones, Ill find a way to get lost & the damned on PC too
they don't ruin them by a longshot but sometimes what they add is totally bogus. I mean WotLK really didn't do anything that we didn't see in BC. Blizzard IS getting lazy because they have too much money and know people will keep playing anyway. I think the game is about to hit a decline in numbers as they have announced their new MMO and basically admitted WoW has a limited shelf life now.
