More Milkage in the market Place?

"Although Mark Rein of Epic Games previously told us that it's Microsoft's store and they can do what they want, in all seriousness, this is insulting to gamers, legitimizes the belief that marketplace is continuing to test the limits of micro-softly-raping-payments and hurts the reputation of Epic."

buy me an x360 first? ;] 

While you would have to be dumber than Forrest Gump to purchase those videos, it's not like they're forcing you to.

It's called a market place for a reason: you go in, wander around, and make a purchase if you feel like it.  It's not like they're forcing you to pay for something that changes the game.

Wow,

MS hitting a another new low? I thought the prices of GH songs were ridiculous... 

It's not MILKAGE. Get it right. Milkage is when someone is FORCED to buy something to play the game.

 No one is being forced to buy those videos and if they want to buy them, let them. I agree the videos are stupid, but that's only because I know FAQs that give me the locations of each COG tag. Not everyone knows about GameFaqs, so it's a great help to them.

Well, Milkage is defined as it being required.

These are optional so technically this wouldn't be milkage. But, yes, it's rather stupid they charge for these.

if its such a huge deal then maybe next time, Epic won't let microsoft run the show.  if they do then its on them. what can you do man, its business. the sooner we accept that these companies Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo will take every dime we have, then maybe we can go back and just enjoy our games, which unfortunately seems like we do less and less with all this complaining, crying and worrying over things we can't control.

No one is forced to buy them, this is true.

But it doesn't make it any less ridiculous.

2. Im talking about Epic and MS here. Epic has always gave away content and vidoes for free to us PC gamers. Its MS who is Forcing EPiC to charge us for maps in the future

3. its sounds like your mad about the whole MS forcing Epic to charge us, that you had to blame sony when sony has nothing to do with the topic.

4. gears is the reason why i have a 360. being a UT fanboy for 7yrs and seeing how epic has always treated their pc fans. but after MS got hold of them things change. sorry that im not a blind fanboy.

you're only getting milked if you buy into that trash.  Besides,  if someone can't find the COG tags on their own,  then apparently they're pretty dumb to begin with.  They will be the ones buying those stupid videos. 

After the last half year I just can't get why there's people who like epic. First they brag continuously on how they will always support their game unlike other developers (*Ahem?*), after that the multiplayer turns out to be pitiful, and the campaign amazingly short. After that they actually manage to worsen the game with their patches, and their promises turn to dust as of yet they've still only released two new maps (which were for free, but the original maps are way better), following a dash for a straight money grab.11Marcel

True. This is a lame attempt to steal money from the casuals.

Do you think casuals could really be bothered rounding up all them tags, let alone care about them.

Casuals with money that is. 

Sorry but the image associated with that Joystiq story should pretty well sum up how everyone should feel about these cog tag videos:

Serious cat stand aside.
