With that former Xbot Chief Alan Moore now running EA, you know they in cahoots with MS. How can you guys run with this. EA was infiltrated and im sure this will be an obvious pattern of Microsoft owned companies that nickel and dime consumers, to the DEATH!
DLC Escalation:
2006: Horse Armor rears its ugly head. Lots of people laugh...lots of people buy it too. Thus begins the saga of DLC.
2007: Beautiful Katamari contains on-disc DLC. EA charge for tutorial videos previously free.
2008-2010: It starts to become obvious content is held back to be released as day 1 DLC. Games become less filled with content and far more filled with purchasable DLC. Outcry does little to stem the tide amidst all the people who do purchase it.
2011-Present: Escalates further: i.e. Dead Space 3s design seems to revolve around strongly encouraging players to purchase DLC.
Always-online DRM Escalation:
2013: Rumour that Durango requires always online to play games or even do anything. Kinect required too. If true, once released people will reluctantly #dealwithit .
2014: Microsoft implements update that uses kinect to detect who is in the room. The more people it detects, the more it'll charge for a movie rental or game. If kinect detects no-one, because it is covered, it outright refuses to do anything.
2015: Escalation: User data compiled will be used to increase subscription charges for those who often have more than one person using a single Durango, detected through Kinect.
2016: Escalation: ????
