[QUOTE=Kung Fu Jew;20278110]they are releasing it for free :downs: can you even read? evidently not. they're releasing new content for free, so that more people will buy the game. you just reinforced what they're doing, yet you go out of your way to show off how much of an extremist you are by typing out a "sigh" which you didn't actually perform, and lie that you're losing faith in an infinitely varying type of entertainment.
how is it gimmicky or awful? nothing is wrong with what they're doing. at all. in fact this is a good thing. you're looking at absolutely nothing changed to what you're doing other than you getting more bang for your buck. it's like complaining about valve with all their DLC being free and spoiling us. you're bitching and moaning... just to bitch and moan.
[/QUOTE]
did you even read what i wrote?
you gave no explanation to what i said. yes, i do understand i get the DLC for free. i just don't understand why there should even be a day 1 DLC when the game isn't even out yet. a DLC is a pack of content that is supposed to add interest in a game, usually quite some time after the game launches as things tend to get stale after a while. this is not a free DLC, this is a part of the game which they call a free DLC as a marketing gimmick.
if you can't see that then obviously their marketing works well on you.
and whats up with the VIP thingy?
why can't all people, even those who don't want to pre-order yet, can't have it as well?
valve never released a game with day 1 DLC for "free". they just support their games with content updates, which should be common practice rather than something you have to advertise as a marketing gimmick.
yes, i agree that i bitch and moan, but i think i have good reason to do so. if you are happy with what they're doing then good for you. i'm not. this isn't about money, this is about principle, so stop telling me that "i'll get the DLC for free" because i know that. that just shows how well you can sell something when you add "FREE" next to it.

The VIP code IS the code you get for the free DLC, which everyone gets.
[QUOTE=Kung Fu Jew;20273199]So are they saying it's free for pre-orderers, people who don't pre-order, or just everyone? This is very confusing and not to the point enough, a simple straightforward answer would've been a lot better.[/QUOTE]
Wow.
Read the [i]first damn line[/i] of the news post. That is ALL you had to do and you'd have your answer before you even asked it.

It's a way to stop stores like gamestop to make profit from used games. Every new copy will include this DLC which will cost 15 $ to whoever buys a used copy of the game. Every box comes with a code which is tied to your account, therefore being useless after its first use.
So stop complaining about shit when you clearly don't know what you're talking about.

Yeah I did read it all but none of it is sensical enough to matter. All you do is complain about things that don't matter. They're making it a bad idea to buy used (which would be losing them money). Simple as that. You shouldn't care so damn much. It's not a big deal.

Someone's aggressive and intolerant. Do you need a spanking? No but really if you think that's any way to act you need a reality check

No, thanks.
bigot of you to say the exact same thing i said to you
but i should've expected that since i knew that about you already.

Please, do us all a favor and just shut up. I told you to read the first line of a news post you're replying to. Next time, read the news before you ask a stupid question.
I did read.
And who is "us all?" I'm fairly certain this is just you being self-centered again.

Just learn to read. Go to school, take some classes. Stop trying to project your shortcomings onto others that called you out on your screw up. M'kay?
Which others? One person - you?
I know how to read very well. "all [B]new[/B] purchases" threw me off. I'm not projecting anything onto anyone, I just said I would prefer a more straightforward way of saying it. Like this: "the DLC will be free for anyone who owns the game."
Actually I'm with Zips, it's pretty easy to see it's for everyone
"for all new purchases of the game" Never did it say preorder anywhere in the article so why would you assume it's for preorders.
I didn't assume only preorders, I thought it might be for people who didn't preorder, or just preorders, or some other obscure random thing like only purchases/preorders after a certain date.

You still assumed things that weren't written anywhere.
Demonize about it. Everybody has had trouble with wording at some point.

The amazing thing is, your rewording is STILL wrong.
All new purchases means ALL NEW PURCHASES. Not used game sales, not second hand sales, not getting the game from a buddy who owned it for a few months prior.
It doesn't say "for pre-orders only." It doesn't say "and includes purchases of used copies." It doesn't say anything but the simple fact that it's for [B][U]ALL[/U] NEW[/B] PURCHASES.
Honest to God man, what is your problem?
I love how everyone compares EA's account system to the Cerberus Network even though EA's account system has been around for at least 5 years.

They compare the VIP code shit to cerberus network which is free with every new copy of the game.

The problem is my "rewording" is wrong - I had trouble with the wording. It's the same shit as before. I've never seen someone get so riled up over somebody having trouble with the wording on something. Calm down.

Buddy, you were the one getting riled up in the first place when I called you out on your lack of reading. Don't even.
So EA is adding Cerberus Network for BC?

I'm sorry, but no.
This DLC map better not be some crappy map that they weren't going to put into the game anyway until someone came up with this idea.
Yay, even more benefits for buying this game :D
