as being part of my uncles business, i see nothing wrong with that. its how businesses are run. its all about the supply and demand curve and equalibrium. theres always gonna be fanboys and people that enjoy the game willing to pay for upgrades, whether its from an existing game or new content.

everyone in business is there to make money, thats the whole point

Yes I agree making money is good for business but some of the crap Activision tries to pull is not making money. It is plain greed.

(This is mostly coming from my pure hatred of Bobby Kotick)

its bullshit. This is the video game industry not a typical business. They should reward loyal gamers for supportnot punish them. Its now 5 months after the game released and they had the "register your game for exclusive content" bullshit taken down now. So now we prob wont. Where is a nice FanSite Kit that almost every otehr game made has? BRINK has one and its not even fucking out. I knowi stillplay the game, bcits addicted, literally like a drug, but doesnt make anything they do to treat its fans any better. They do NOTHING for their fans. Its a shame too bc id love to support everything.

"Divnich said it comes down to what consumers feel is the best value proposition for their dollars, and that choice will ultimately decide what publishers charge for downloadable content."

THATS THE BIGGEST BUNCH OF BULLSHIT. WHAT A FUCKING CUNT!

Divnich should have said that the ultimate choice in what to charge for the DLC is what they can make the most possible money off of without putting the gamer off from them as a developer

Fuck 15$ dlc

they do reward the players, by continuing making games that they enjoy. you may hate mw2, but theres millions that love it. every person and i mean every person that owns a business, their main goal is PROFIT

the businesses that arnt in it for profit, well what can i say besides...where are they now?

Idk, lets look at Blizzard or Media Molecule....doing fine i see. i dont hate MW2, i hate IW and activation.

WoW is an MMO, that calls for it. But regardless, they give support for their community, and have since starcraft/diablo days.

and WoW is blizzards cash cow in the market, which allows them to not have to worry as much for profits for their other games in the lineup.
