This is a bunch of [censored] BS. There is nothing moral about this business practice; Bethesda is earning more money via deals with Microsoft, whose customers paid the same as the rest of us for the same game--and, in my case, potentially more (I bought the $150 collector's edition) for an unfinished, unpolished product (since I'm on PS3).
A lot of people are calling these threads pointless and repetitive, but those people don't know what they're talking about. 4,000+ posts in this series of threads (not to mention countless threads getting locked for being considered spam because they're about this topic) mean something: Bethesda's consumer base feels betrayed and is highly upset, and they can hear us.
Keep posting and don't be afraid to be angry. Be vehement about it. And PS3 players, don't be discouraged by any number of Xbox or PC players who patronize you about how they don't think you have a right to complain: they have been pampered with free exclusive features, items and DLC and have Dawnguard and the Creation Kit respectively, and neither of them got nearly as incomplete a game as us. No Xbox or PC player has a right to try to invalidate complaints about the PS3 version not just because they've been so privileged but because non-PS3 players don't know firsthand how broken Skyrim was and sometimes still is; the game has, despite updates, crashed constantly since release, and the constant crashing (and other bugs) have only become less frequent. Gstaff himself has a stickied thread advising to do things such as turning off autosaves and deleting and reinstalling game data because BGS can't or won't fix issues themselves. But I digress: for that matter, no one here has a right to tell anyone their complaints are unfounded, invalid or that any poster is otherwise disallowed to say anything bad.
I hope laws change that prevent companies from giving certain demographics of consumers monopolized (even if temporarily so) content just for profit in the case of all consumers paying the same price for the same product, such as in this case where consumers are essentially the same outside of which service/console they use to enjoy what ought to be exactly the same product.
20 threads of Bethesda completely ignoring us. I just love being ignored after I hand a company money for a product. In no other industry on this planet would people put up with the [censored] gamers are forced to.
You're right, I can't think of a single one. Exclusive DLC is a ridiculous business practice that ought to be illegal, along with other nonsense such as on-disc DLC.
Chill because I chose the wrong console? That I paid the same amount of money as the xbox user yet I get less content? This should be illegal.
Getting less content? What?
You must enjoy pretending that Xbox and PC players don't get exclusive content and that the PS3 gets nothing but a broken half-game.
