Did Microsoft insist on charging 560 points for it? Because if they just said that you have to charge for it then you could charge like 1 point which would be hilarious.
I say this to people all the time who say "It's just business." Because it isn't just business, it is a dick move.Proteus214 said:BOO!
Thanks Microsoft. You know, just because you can, doesn't mean you should.
Except most of the content on WoW is free.oppp7 said:Ya, but you could say the same for WoW and other MMOs. All of them charge $15 a month for server stuff, so Microsoft is actually cheap.MR.Spartacus said:So what does the fifty dollars a year for gold membership go to? I thought that was what helped with server costs.oppp7 said:The sad thing is that people will still dl it...
Though technically, there's nothing saying they have to make DLC free. It's using their servers and costing them money. I'm not going to buy it, but I can understand why they wouldn't want to give away freebies.

I'm a rich SOB, I have $250 in my wallet alone so it doesn't bother me too much. Besides, Microsoft knows we're going to buy the DLC anyway regardless of the price they put on it so relax; save the price moaning for MW2's price tag.
Thank god I'm a PC gamer <3
All the players pay $15 bucks a month, and since they have millions and millions of subscribers they make way more money than they need to maintain the servers.theultimateend said:Except most of the content on WoW is free.
They've had something like 2 expansions you've paid for and 19-20 content packs you haven't.
Agreed, quite frankly I'm a bit surprised that so many people are being supportive of Microsoft's decision to charge for this DLC.Machines Are Us said:You know, that argument is starting to sound really stupid.HentMas said:how weird, a company that wants to make money!?!? ODD!!
If it is free on PC then it should be free on all platforms. The same goes for everything else, it punishes people for buying games on a certain platform and that is not fair.
If they charged on all platforms then your argument would be valid.
I could see (if that happend) someone wanting to get something for say 800 MSP but they only have 799, I would laugh my ass off.Hamster at Dawn said:Did Microsoft insist on charging 560 points for it?

If you think all the money from WoW goes to maintaining servers and then the leftover goes to lining their pockets you're very much mistaken. They've got four other games in development, plus continuous work on WoW, plus customer service, plus lawyers, plus taxes, plus general bills, plus administration, plus publishing costs (they self-publish all of their games), plus...well, you see where I'm going with this?Arassar said:All the players pay $15 bucks a month, and since they have millions and millions of subscribers they make way more money than they need to maintain the servers.theultimateend said:Except most of the content on WoW is free.

That's an awesome quote. You should patent that and sell it on T-shirts.ryai458 said:its not nice but hey all is fair in love, war, and microsoft.
