this isnt my name said:
You k now what.
NO, fuck it.
You obviously like devs fuckin g you over, you are happy for them to do it and you pay for it, I dont have too prove anything to you, you already made your choice, enjoy bioware screwing you over, I am sure you will beg them to keep doing it.
So the guy spitting fire and making baseless assumptions about corporate greed and conspiracies to "rob" players has nothing to prove to the guys that are simply implying that DLC is worth paying for?
Specifically, you have a number of unsupported assertions:
Unsupported assertion #1:
"Bioware is greedy..."
Unsupported assertion #2:
Granted that Bioware is greedy (Assertion #1):
"There is a DLC conspiracy, wherein, elements of games are removed and repackaged as DLC..."
Unsupported assertion #3:
Granted that BW is greedy and granted that there is a conspiracy (Assertions #1 & #2):
"The pricing of DLC is an attempt to "rob" players..."
Unsupported assertion #4:
Granted that BW is greedy and granted that there is a conspiracy and granted that the price of DLC is an attempt to "rob" players (Assertions #1, #2 & #3):
"Players are mistaken in paying for extra content..."
So you actually have 4 baseless assertions to prove to me. And each assertion because weaker as you go on in so far as each assertion is necessarily dependent on your earlier assertions.
For instance, if you cannot prove that Bioware is greedy, how can you assert that they are orchestrating a conspiracy, or that they are not pricing their content fairly?
I think it's also worth point out that I have so far considered each of these assertions to exist independently of one other. It is impossible to assemble them into a logical argument where one serves as proof of another.
But it does occur to me that you might have tried to make another
non sequitor here of the form:
GRANTED:
1. Bioware is greedy.
2. DLC are features of the game proper removed from the game and packaged seperately.
3. DLC is priced unfairly.
THEREFORE:
1. Players are mistaken/wrong to buy DLC and/or Players should not buy DLC.
Again, your premises do not support your conclusion, because even if all of your premises are true, which is dubious because you have given me no reason to accept them as true, then your argument that I cannot possibly enjoy paying for DLC ignores the fact that none of your premises have any baring on how much one enjoys the actual product or considers it of value.
Rather, I would say that most people do a value calculation of whether or not the amount or character of content for sale is worth the dollar value assigned to it, and then decide to buy/not buy from there, independent of any considerations of corporate greed or how the world ought to be.

He was probably attempting to respond to Anton P. Nym, not you.
He seems to have a very hostile attitude towards people who consider DLC to be worth paying for.
