Microsoft's latest mentality about "Nothing is for Free" on x360 fans!

the latest news about ms forcing epic to charge fans money for free maps is just downright sad, if i was a x360 fan i would sell it the next day and i would send a letter to bill gates and tell him thanks for nothing.

ok then, how do u feel about this? do u think ms had the right to force epic to charge u money so they get that fair share of that money too? do u really think ms needs it? are they that money hungry?

 nothing compares MS when it comes to profit-mongering.

did u know that ms is controlling all desktop pc's hardware? they dont want anything new to come until they approve it first, and before they want their fair share.

do u really believe that dx10 cant be done without windows vista?

OP your just wasting your time, shills and fanboys are just gonna spin this. They dont want free stuff. They want to buy them because M$ has a right to do it. M$ is a multi billion company so obviously its okay for them to be greedy and milk their customers.

 oh lems your gonna need this: 

You know, this sort of thing happens all the time in the business world; between the developers and their publishers. However, I believe that Epic was probably forced to lay it out in the open and to an extent, I agree with you, GermanShepard, that what Microsoft is doing is starting to anger me quite a bit.

 I support xbox Live, it's a great service and I don't mind paying for it but all this microtransactions crap on top of the service price is just too much, imo. I can understand from a business perspective, considering the huge fanbase, that having the new Gears of Wars maps for a price can be a profitable move. But come on...Microsoft's acting like they're alone in this competition and incidents like this are gonna bite them back in the ass. Somehow, I'm hoping Sony would take advantage of this situation just to let MS learn their lesson.

So you think none of Sony games(the few there are) won't even charge for maps at the SOny store? Guess again.

Just like Capcom stating that DMC4 could only be done on the PS3's hardware... companies change their tune mighty quick whenever they see dollar signs. D0013ER

dmc4 is not using the ps3 hardware to its fullest at all, they just dont have that money right now, but im glad they will get that money from x360 users when dmc4 hits x360.

the next dmc should have the ff13 or mgs4 visuals.

if the devs want to charge then its up to them but to have ms force a dev to charge money is just dowright sad, get the point now?

i actually wont care if Epic went out there and wanted money for the extra maps but for ms to force epic to do that is a different story.

Do you believe your own bullcrap or do you just like spewing garbage to try and annoy people? just wondering.

Gears isn't just a Epic game, it also belongs to Microsoft Game Studios, I guess you didn't know that - Now you do.

Sorry Lems, M$ is truly giving you guys the royal shaft.  This is how M$ does business.  Make you buy their product, than shaft you on stuff you want.  Kinda like Windows XP and having to buy "MS Office" to have Word, etc.SergeantSnitch

People , not lems or whatever you want to call them make choices whether they want to buy something or not. People bought the 360 cause they wanted to play good games with a good online service, you people that are into the Sony only bought that piece of crap cause you want your FF and MGS that won't be out for what another year? And the games the Ps3 have coming out look like trash compared to the 360 line up.

To sum it up, people with a 360 are more gamers than people that wasted money for a cheap Blu-Ray player with so- called potential, potential my ass. The 3DO and the NEO GEO had potential - get a clue.

Look at the thread, no one is saying they necessarily like the fact that MS is forcing Epic's hand with the new content, but it shouldn't surprise anyone that they want to make money off their top-selling franchise.  If you feel that strongly about it then the best way to stick it to MS is to, you know, not buy it...D0013ER

People have a choice to buy something or not, if you don't like MS don't use windows, don't play your Xbox and sell it , therefore not buying anymore games and supporting it.

Sony doesn't stick it to you with hardware? They have TVs, stereos, phones and they own half the movie industry. The only thing I see MS intervening with is computers and games, I could give a rat's ass about MSNBC or other ways MS makes profits.

I love my 360 and I don't get milked cause I choose what I buy, maybe you are one of those people that have to buy everything or have someone buy everything for you. I don't know your situation. Gears was one of the best games to come out in a long time and I got my money's worth and have no regrets. 

P.s. I wasted more money on SOny hardware than MS products. I bought walkmans that broke and Stereos that broke. If this TV I have that is a SOny breaks I will never touch a SOny product again. I also have a Sony Ericsson phone that is way too low in volume and I can't wait to get a decent phone.
