It doesn't really matter about DRM, because it will always be cracked.
[QUOTE=mysteryman;24715471]Oh wow so they are angry about forcibly getting money from forced paid dlc's? I can respect that.[/QUOTE] Valve doesnt get all of it. and valve want to be nice.
When Microsoft increased prices of Xbox Live GOLD, i traded my Xbox 360 for a PlayStation 3. Even Halo: Reach can't hold me on this PAY FOR EVERYTHING console.
[QUOTE=Dan2593;24715395]Living in the UK I don't get the increase and I can afford it, it's nothing when you compare it to what you earn. But Christ, if Valve abandoned Xbox completely, I would play it a lot less.[/QUOTE] If you're playing a Valve game on a console rather then PC, you're doing something wrong
Xbox Live is a great service, but Microsoft clearly doesn't know how to run it. It has far more quality than PSN IMO, but the thing is, MS puts too many restrictions on it to let it run free.
I regret buying a xbox instead of a ps3 :saddowns:
[quote]"Why has Valve switched their console love towards the PS3 after so many hateful slanders?"[/quote] Because Sony has a contract with Valve now and therefore the highest bidder is the best company. [editline]09:16PM[/editline] [QUOTE=FunkyHippo;24714951]I'm pretty sure microsoft has a set of rules on prices for DLCs.[/QUOTE] It depends how much space it takes. One of the Kane & Lynch DLCs about $2.00 or something.
[QUOTE=meatballfish;24713747]Valve is a small developer, they're awesome, but they're not as renowned/well known as Bungie/IW.[/QUOTE] bullshit
I'd switch to PS3 if I wasn't so heavily invested in my Xbox 360. Halo: Reach is around the corner, plus all of my friends are on Xbox Live. I'm paying for their service, I wish they'd make it worth it.
Haha Valve is right, only allowing one update for free is a retarded constraint. I hope they take a hint
[QUOTE=Sonic4Ever;24715901]bullshit[/QUOTE] Not quite. On Xbox, everyone knows Bungie, but rarely has anyone heard of Valve. On the PC front, people know Valve very well, and they know Bungie, too.
The worst part about this is Microsoft won't give a shit what Valve thinks and just continue on with what they're doing.
[QUOTE=Agoat;24716094]Not quite. On Xbox, everyone knows Bungie, but rarely has anyone heard of Valve. On the PC front, people know Valve very well, and they know Bungie, too.[/QUOTE] advertisement is to blame there. and Bungie is a decent developer though.
[QUOTE=FunkyHippo;24714951]I'm pretty sure microsoft has a set of rules on prices for DLCs.[/QUOTE] The DLC works on Microsofts currency, Microsoft points, so even if they could do that, People would have to pay in a bundle of about £5 just to buy one cheap update for a game.
[QUOTE=ZapDing;24716155]advertisement is to blame there. and Bungie is a decent developer though.[/QUOTE] Not just advertisement. Halo games have always been a big deal in the console gaming world, therefore a lot of people know who made them.

[QUOTE=samframpton;24716267]The DLC works on Microsofts currency, Microsoft points, so even if they could do that, People would have to pay in a bundle of about £5 just to buy one cheap update for a game.[/QUOTE] They changed it to be in $5 increments, which most DLC is priced around. [editline]03:33PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Lazore;24716325]EVERYONE has heard of tf2. except 10yo' cod/halo players.[/QUOTE] Orange Box isn't a very popular console game. It's got users, but not too many.

[QUOTE=Lazore;24716432]Cool boxart there bro' Still a bundle[/QUOTE] Not on consoles.
Gabe is bipolar. "Fuck you Sony your stupid piece of shit console isn't worth my time I LOVE YOU SONY I WANT TO MAKE GAMES FOR YOUR BEAUTIFUL CONSOLE"
[QUOTE=Lazore;24716325]EVERYONE has heard of tf2. except 10yo' cod/halo players.[/QUOTE] You sound like a 10 year old Halo player. Actually, you sound like a Mw2 boy cotter who bought Mw2 and plays it religiously.
[QUOTE=Agoat;24716441]Not on consoles.[/QUOTE] It's still a bundle. That's like saying if 2 movies come on one disk then it's not 2 movies, but 1.

[QUOTE=Sonic4Ever;24715901]bullshit[/QUOTE] they are even known to console dudes now, with portal 2 worst automerge failure ever
Microsoft is way too materialistic
[b]Playstation 3[b] - Built in wifi - Internet Access - Free updates (EXPECT EVERYONE'S FAVORITE GAME MW2) - Blue ray - FREE ONLINE PLAY - Many more features then just gaming. [b]Xbox 360[/b] - No built in wifi (Took them four years to add in built-in wifi?) - Facebook - ONE FREE UPDATE?! - DVD - Monthly live fee which was just raised (Fucking stupid, you are already paying for the internet, and with live you don't even have access to the internet rarely.)
