People don't understand the point of this. It's an iOS app, so you can look all snug and cool when you whip out your iPhone to look up a location while playing Skyrim on your Mac.
Skyrim Map Gets DLC

Bad title. I thought it was actually some DLC for Skyrim, not an app for a device you can't play Skyrim on.
I was thinking this was a bit of a dick move... then I realized that it's just an app for Icrap and people who can't be bothered to get the same info for free.
I wonder if someone DID pay for this, would they admit it?

Well... sucks for the people who can't use Google.
On a side note, I had a little moment of joy reading that the game was getting some DLC. I guess "I read that wrong".

The title is a bit misleading, it is almost like it was written to get people into a rage at Bethesda for releasing such asinine DLC. Why not put it in the title that this is just some stupid app?
Oh. I thought this was going to be about DLC to create more map in Skyrim (ie, to open up some of the locations that are programmed, but not player-accessible due to invisible walls that say "you cannot go this way").
I am disappointed. This is much less interesting. I don't even own an iphone. And if I did, I wouldn't pay 99 cents for something this useless.
Cause the app itself is free, but the DLC for that app is 99 cents.
Yeah, splitting hairs, I know.

Well, it IS DLC... for the iphone map app. Not for the game. The title is misleading.Tiamat666 said:

1) Misleading headline
2) Microtransaction app that provides something you can get for free, anyway.
3) Article presents this as though it is an impressive development feat and something you would want.
A cynic might be tempted to conclude that The Escapist has a financial motivation for publishing this story...

Got me all excited for NOTHING. There's absolutely nothing new here - this is just paying more for what we already have. If I want to find a location on the map, I google it. Free and easy.
Seriously, I thought this was going to be some kind of addition to the actual game. Not something that tells you where the already-existing things are.

The devs didn't do it.dogstile said:
Prima Strategy Guides did it.
Clearly, they're getting really desperate.

I guess it's true. People simply are unable to conceive that sarcasm exists online. I'm guessing you don't read Grey Carter's articles often, do you?
Gotta love Escapist sensationalist titles that have nothing to do with the actual content of the article.
This is stupid. Why would anyone want to pay to look at the map of Skyrim outside the game?

Sorry I meant Mods. Mod makers already made stuff like this, and it's free, plus Steam Works is up now so it should just be a little installation procedure.
I hope no one pays them any money.
