This seems to have flown so far over your head that I feel like you're just putting me on at this point. I never thought you were comparing subscription fees to rape and genocide. I was using those things, which are truly evil, to show just how idiotic your use of the word evil to describe charging a monthly fee is. Do I need to draw you a diagram of this?

They are charging for maps they already made, so the production cost of 2/5ths of it is negligible.
The old maps still need to be recoded to put into the new game. Not like they just copy and paste the code off the MW1 disc. Why would you talk about production cost when you have no idea what it costs/the work that goes into one of these packs?

You seem to have the idea that making a game/content is easy and quick. Again, not pretending to be an expert on coding/making games, but I know it's a pretty complicated thing. Takes time and money. This has gone from a discussion of glitches to including the DLC too. I do not debate that the DLC is slightly overpriced. And I mean slightly. The fact that it's just slightly overpriced is why I don't care. I'd gladly pay $10 for it, so an extra $5, what I might spend on a single drink at a bar, is not a big deal. People are just going crazy because it's turned into "EVIL ACTIVISION RAPING OUR WALLETS". Few seem to care that it will be fun playing these new maps. $15 isn't much to pay for that, to me at least.

Regarding glitches, I understand frustration if you're encountering them constantly. I'm seemingly lucky enough to not have this, and I play the damn thing nearly every day. But castigating the company for taking too long (re-a couple of weeks) to fix them, and berating them that game code isn't absolutely flawless in the first place is asinine. Blame the community of 12 year olds and retards who get off on trying to spoil the game for others. Like Fig said, every game has glitches. The more complicated and ambitious games are, the more you'll see them, because it's impossible to check every single thing you can do in any game. Even if there weren't glitches, people will still find something to bitch about (IE the constant "Gun X/Perk X is so overpowered!!!!11!" that you already see on boards).

I'm not saying glitches aren't annoying, but fuck's sake, acting like the company that made it have somehow completely failed because it's not perfect is extremely stupid.
