And I'm not sure where the fuck Bioware came from, I didn't mention them at all.
I have no issue with DLC in of itself. It's when a $60 game is shipped and it's blatantly obvious that they're milking it with an additional $20 worth of DLC that in all honesty should have been included in the core game. I mean, compare it to a game like Skyrim where, with no additional fee, can get you 80+ hours out of the box easily. Do you think EA would ever release a game of Skyrim's scope and size with no DLC?

As for Bioware, I was referring to the Mass Effect 3 debacle. But I suppose that still ties into EA being a bunch of money grubbing tools anyway since it was probably their decision.

I just wish the cunts would stop ruining franchises that are actually good. Can't they just be satisfied with releasing a new CoD game every 6 months and leave good developers alone?
What?

Yes it's very obvious in most cases, we're lock step here.

We're talking two different business models here, adhering to two different kinds of gamers. Then there's the subjectivity of it all based on gamer perspective. For instance; Skyrim is shit ("imo"), and I got well over 80hrs of entertainment on any Battlefield game. Some could say the same phrase and add Need For Speed, Madden, fucking Sims.

I get what you're saying but you're saying it in a vacuum where all games are out to do the same thing and must adhere to some universal standard. It's just not like that.

Since what was their decision? I hear ME3 was alright and their DLC sales embolden them. A better example would be Dead Space 3.
