Brace yourselves! EA's flipping again. "Used games are important to the industry; they help keep game prices down."

Says the CFO of a company that's charging close to one hundred fucking dollars for Need for Speed: Rivals here. I thought we were past this shit. Fuck you guys, if you're gonna say shit like that, don't make yourselves look like a bunch of fucking hypocrites while you say it.

If used games are suddenly so useful to them then one must wonder what EA still needs a DRM service like Origin for.

I can make a "FUCK THE NCAA" topic that makes this looks like petty theft.

BF4 issues means work has stopped on planned DLC

Or they could just you know, make DLC free.

Fixed.

Honestly this is just blatant control freak fuckery. Even the most dominant companies in the industry recognize that they're never going to hold an audience's attention exclusively, so just make what you can and make what you can off it. That he's making games out as DLC milking platforms and acting as though this is doing consumers some kind of favour is fucking sick.

Maybe if your games were good to begin with, people wouldn't get bored of them and you wouldn't need to make DLC.

I'd like to see DLC that uses the base engine of the game but provides a different experience or campaign, but most "story" dlc is just a bit more of the same thing we already paid for.

Oh wait we have that on PC, they're called MODS!

Nintendo has, thus far, handled DLC pretty well on the 3DS. While NSMB2's level packs are fun challenges and an extra way for you to earn more coins, the DLC for Pokémon Mystery Dungeon and Fire Emblem are self contained experiences that add more to the game in a variety of ways. For Fire Emblem, there are stages dedicated to playing in a specific way (enhancing character relationships, farming gold, grinding for exp), as well as the fact that some contain their own plot points, including references to older games and the ability to recruit older heroes. I think it's more of the same for Pokémon too, but I'm not exactly sure since I haven't really dived into the game yet.
