I am talking about the "downlodable content", damn...what happened to the old, way to go kid! here is you're reward for beating the game! a new costume for your character!, a new area to play in!, you want more? beat it in maniac difficulty! you want your ninja dressed like a halo character? ok, that's cake... go and beat the first boss with out getting hit!, those were challenges, some were able to do them, some not, ok ,but now they want to sell you every god damned thing! they make games short on purpose (not all but most) so you go and buy the extra maps, or islands, or become a gipsy who sees the future.

Now they want to sell you t shirts! for you're damn avatar!, i mean WTF! they were for free a couple of weeks ago! ain't we right now in one bad (if its not the worst) global financial crisis? but we keep letting it happen, because we go and buy the downlodable content, and while they screw us, we smile, and say thanks! some more please...


I don't' know if someone have a different idea about this, but it is pretty obvious that this will continue as long as we let it, as long as we keep buying those dumb "expansions" they will continue to sell them, and instead of buying a complete real game that gives you at least!!! 20-30 hours of gameplay (like the last console generation) for $60-$70 (i mean games ain't a cheap hobby...) we will continue to buy 10-15 hrs. games, that cost the same, and if you want to gain the 10-15 hrs. missing, you'll have to pay at least $20 extra, i mean... damn! since when are we able to throw away money like that?


I don't know you, but the only game i can think of, that offers an expansion, and its a real game, and they sell you a real expansion, its TESIV Oblivion.


So, in conclusion, i only see they're bank accounts getting bigger, with less effort, less quality, while we have to pay more, for less gaming, and $-hi-tty extra content.


But hey... thats me!
