Overwatch drops on Modern Warfare 3 PS3 March 29; Black Ice, Black Box and Negotiator 'on or around April 12'

Not buying it, sense my MW3 disc randomly stopped worked mid game. Instead of worrying about DLC make a disc that works.

Witcher 2 devs: 'We will never use any DRM anymore'

I respect that they don't use DRM. That is right. if people are going to pirate your game its going to happen. The only people you hurt of real customers who probably don't know the work around. I'll go get one of there games even if I don't pay if just out of respect. There are a bunch of games i refuse to buy because of DRM.

@SlyBeast I hope they arrest you based on this and send you to jail for 5 years for each game. And to be clear not because i find what you are going morally reprehensible or because its my job to stop people like you but because you are so flagrant and unrepentant about it. Personally I think most people play in the grayzone and honestly that's just part of the business who cares. So you grabs a few things free here and there whatever. But to brag about it and be a-- about it that desires punishment.

PS don't think your screen name will help you mask who you are. Your records can be subpoenaed look what happened to Anonymous. Also don't think because you are a minor they won't come for you. Copyright violations are $250K per violation and 5 years in prison. So yeah good luck bragging, ranking down is the least of your problems.

Mass Effect 3 'From Ashes' DLC screenshots are potentially spoilersy

So ok I am not going to claim to be some expert but I do own all three games and I know I preordered the last 2 I can't remember about the first one. I understand I am just lucky enough to be able to afford to preorder these games and pay large sums for them there is a point. I preordered a brick load of games and I don't even play them because I don't have time. I stopped getting the "collector" editions when they started charging $100 for an art book I didn't care for and a metal case. however i make an exception when there is something of value in the collector's edition. I 'm not sure if I am remembering correctly but Deus ex came with some extra content and this does as well. Deus ex I did not throw the extra 10 bucks on because it was not important to me. For this I want the whole experience once through so I threw the extra 10 bucks on which amazon promptly gave me back in a rebate. In fact preordering from amazon I have not paid more than 50, I have got some games on release date for $30-$40 because they always give you like $10-20 off the next purchase. The point is for that $10 I am getting DLC and whatever comes in the box extra. Some people didn't want to put the $10 on it and so they didn't get that but maybe they want the content. I am fine with that. i am not some snob, only for me. I paid $10 and got it, you can do the same. It was bonus content I am sure the game will be just as complete without it. If not wait. it will go on sale or buy it used or get it from gamefly and throw the $10 on and you are golden. Its honestly not that serious.

38 Studios head Curt Schilling elaborates on Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning online pass quest lockout

Here is the thing about DLC of any kind: it’s fine IMO if its DLC not a part of the game. DLC is additional game levels or items or addons that do not affect the regular game and the story. It is not an online pass, or the middle/beginning/end of the story which was cut so it can be added back later at cost or even for free for first run buyers. I feel better about the later because at least the renters/used gamers are not paying full price but still I am a firm believer you should be able to get most of the full experience without such a thing. In a online shooter maybe a level cap like I think Crysis 2 makes sense until you buy the online pass or the cat woman levels of BMAC fine because you get the whole story without that pack, but things like MW3 and I think Madden( I can’t say for sure I know I stopped playing years ago) bother me. $20 for like 5 maps honestly? Maps you can’t choose randomly matched in maps. Maps that when you don’t have you become a pariah can can’t play with many people in. That’s BS. And if it was done once, fine, but they do it 3 and 4 times a years. The games where you can’t play online without the pass? Or where key pieces of the story are left out until you buy the DLC looking at you AC series. I enjoy more than anyone an add on. ME great I can continue the story with my Sheppard, I know what happens next and it bridges me to the next game that’s fine but not this for no reason we left these missions out so you can buy them, later, Fable and friends. This goes further to the point of used V. new. Yes publishers are getting screwed per se by used says but the fact is so is everyone else, book sellers clothes people and anything sold on ebay. They on the other hand have unique opportunity to have a captive audience created by used sales. People buy used and you can sell them dlc. I don’t see DLC for books or clothes. There is a legal lesson to, PC games at 49.99 because you don’t own them, you license them. This means you have no right to alienation, or to sell them, they are yours to use under the terms of a license hence cheaper. Console games you own and can sell and do with as you wish hence the higher price. Part of that is the sale, dlc is taking that away. So if they want to make it more like a license them just cut the price. Then they can sell all the DLC and whatever they want. Hell make the whole game on the cloud and/or streaming ( if you have a good connection. ) Bottom line is there needs to be a better system then cutting content from games so you can punish used buyers or renters.
