Modern Warfare "Stimulus pack" hts Steam

Just don't buy it.

This entire generation I have only bought DLC once and that was for Fallout 3 ( a couple of mods I wanted used them). I stick by my belief that DLC should be free.

Yay. I love Steam. I bought COD4 for £9.99 and L4D2 for £13.39!

We could all do without people buying overpriced products purely because of the brand. Now that doesn't make any sense.

And I'm saying that line of thinking is irrational. Relying purely on branding will get you screwed eventually, one way or the other. Usually one way. PC users were asked to pay €10 more, for a product lacking features of its predecessor, and are now asked to pay for maps fans of the series already own and which would probably have been modded into the game for free. They are complacent ardent enthusiasts who cannot resist an opportunity to indulge an enthusiasm.

As long as it doesn't affect me I guess I'm fine with it in theory. Evidently they think it's worth paying more and more whilst getting nothing/less in return. So good for them, or something. But you know, ACII was $60. Starcraft II will be $60.

And he's saying it's pompous for you to try and dictate what is rational and or define what being screwed is for other people based on your preferences and mindset. It's even worse when people (not just you, but in general) use condescending terms to justify their preference over another. I mean insulting other peoples opinions is SURE to have them see your side, AMIRITE?

That being said the whole MW2 thing is ridiculous to me as well, and I wouldn't spend a cent on it. But I'm not arrogant enough or a big enough ******* to insult people who spend their own money how they want. On videogames of all things.

Who cares? PC gamers will eat it up just like everyone else. How did that boycott work out for ya? lol

And while I may have contended in a manner that can be seen as condescending, I don't think I've insulted anyone. I've called people complacent and their acts irrational. What kind of words do you suggest I use to express myself with to not insult people then? Arrogant, pompous and ******* perhaps?

Also I think I already stated that I'm fine with people spending their money on whatevz, as long as it doesn't end up screwing me over. Activision is setting a precedent with their pricing. So there's some probability there, which is why this is something I'm somewhat invested in.

What's the alternative? Not paying, and not getting what they want?

While price goes up with demand, that isn't much of a problem for these people. It's even something of a boon; as the price goes up, supply will also go up. The continued success of Modern Warfare 2 and its DLC will undoubtedly lead to more Modern Warfare 2 and DLC, spiritually or technically. These people are encouraging the making of products they like, and while we see them as over-priced and offensive, the consumer is content.

(You, specifically, did not insult anyone, but my original post criticized a poster that did. I believe that's what Metalscarz is referring to)

Yup. This is why I didn't bother with this game.

Yes. Not paying, forcing publishers to omit these kind of tactics and in the future price their products according to the current standard instead of trying to set a new one to the possible detriment of all users. What a wonderful world it would be.

But yeah, stuff like this is probably the last thing on MW2 fans' minds. As long as the quality is deemed acceptable they'll keep feeding Activision their money. Thanks for explaining their viewpoint, but still, I'm not particularly content with them being content with the situation.

MW3 will be interesting. 1/5th of Infinity Ward is gone now.
