Knocks it out of the freaking park.

http://www.escapistm...eath-of-Dignity

This garbage infuriates me. You cant keep selling terds painted in gold forever, sooner or later people are going to wake up. And when that time coms, when my day has come, and the upcommence is at hand, I will gladly pour all the gasoline I can get my hands on upon the smouldering burning ruins of these garbage companies that have so thouroghly raped and snuffed my hobby over these long, long years.

Just like I did with THQ. That was a joyous day. It wont be much longer now...

free = many people

many people = dumb sheep

dumb sheep = never going to change

Just look at cod. The only reason that'll go down is when the kids who bought the first MW grow up and out of it.

Thats a different battle. Thats free to play.

This is about FEE to play, as in, microtansactions walling off on disc content that used to be basic fundamental stuff in a retail game, AFTER paying 60 bucks to get the game.

you pay a 60 entrance fee, to pay to play the rest of the game

oh, people complain about paying for a game now?
the thought didn't even cross my mind so I didn't even register the word "fee".

I like DLC, story DLC that is.

But you arent paying for a game.

You are paying sixty dollars to be able to pay five dollars to play peices of a game before you pay another five dollars.... Or be stuck with the most purposefully disgusting grindathon in the world to unlock basic features that should automatically be part of any full priced purchases immediately playability.

This isnt even dlc, its standard content, thats already on disc, that is held off behind a pay wall, or purposefully awful time consuming game design in order to unlock.
