Epic cuts price on 'Dark Corners,' pushes 'All Fronts' to Xbox Live Marketplace

by David Hinkle on May 31st 2009 9:30PM

We finally know why 'All Fronts' started vanishing from online retailers. In speaking with IGN, Epic's Rod Fergusson said that the feedback from fans on the original 1600

($20) price for 'Dark Corners' and the retail release of 'All Fronts' wasn't, well ... favorable. So, Epic decided to mix things up.

Dark Corners will now be offered at a much cheaper price of 1200

($15). As for 'All Fronts,' it's ditching its planned retail release for an exclusive Xbox Live Marketplace stay, where fans will be able to download the content for 1600

($20) at 12:00am GMT on July 28.

[Thanks, surinder!]

EPIC GAMES IS ONE OF THE CHEAPEST COMPANIES OUT THERE!!! THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT THEIR LOYALISTS OR FANS WHATSOEVER!!! I WILL NOT BE DOWNLOADING THIS SET OF DLC UNTIL THEY BRING IT DOWN IN PRICE OR GIVE IT TO ME FREE PLUS MONEY BACK.

I HAPPEN TO BE ONE OF THE LOYAL GEARS FANS THAT ALREADY SPENT 2000 MICROSOFT POINTS ON THE PREVIOUS 3 MAP PACK DLC. NOW I HAVE TO SPEND ANOTHER 1200 POINTS TO OWN THE SAME AMOUNT OF CONTENT THAT OTHERS ARE GETTING FOR ONLY 1600 MICROSOFT POINTS.

HOW THE F*** DOES THAT WORK OUT EPIC? YOU LOST ANOTHER CUSTOMER DUE TO YOUR GREEDY BUSINESS ETHICS.

WHAT SUCKS IS THAT I DECIDED THAT I STILL WANT TO PLAY THE NEW CAMPAIGN AND MAP PACKS. I WILL BE SELLING MY LEGIT COPIES OF GEARS 1+2. THIS WILL GIVE ME ENOUGH MONEY TO GET A BURNT COPY OF BOTH GAMES, DOWNLOAD THE NEW RIP OFF DLC, AND GET A BAG OF WEED.

IF EPIC WANTS TO BE GRIMY THEN I CAN TOO! WHEN IVE HAD A BAD EXPERIENCE WITH A COMPANY OR FEEL LIKE I HAVE BEEN RIPPED OFF, I GET THE GAME BURNT AND PLAY IT ON MY 2ND 360. THIS HAPPENED WHEN RE5 CHARGED 400 MS POINTS FOR THEIR DLC THAT SHOULDVE BEEN INCLUDED ON DISC.

I ALSO PLAN ON DOWNLOADING THE GEARS OF WAR MOVIE WHEN IT DOES COME OUT. KNOWING EPIC, THEY WILL BE SELLING ADVANCED TICKETS ONLINE, AND THEN CHARGE THOSE SAME PEOPLE AGAIN AT THE DOOR.
