PC & PS3 Release Date [merged topics] : V - Skyrim

But the exclusivity deal is already over so surely they can't make another agreement after the fact. But I agree that they're doing a great job of alienating PC and PS3 users. Personally if I played it on PS3 they would never get another penny out of me.

Sure they can. "Hey guys, if we give you $10000000 will you give us some more exclusives?"
'LOL YH SURE!!11 It's not like PC users are the reason our company is so large today! [censored] EM!'

Would the PC players please stop complaining. OFC I would like to be playing the DLC by now, too. But why not see it like this:

(This will list some of the DLCs featuresand their mechanics. If you don't wanna spoil yourself dont hit the Spoiler button :tongue:

)

Spoiler

Xbox + Dragonborn = Dragon Mount on rails
Xbox + Dragonborn = Non-Playable Werebears (is that confirmed by now?
Xbox + Dragonborn = Non-usable Spears

PC + Dragonborn + Mods = Free Roam Dragon mount
PC + Dragonborn + Mods = Playable Werebears
PC + Dragonborn + Mods = Useable sopears (onfact there are some spear mods already, eventhough they are just a 2-handed variant)

I prefer the PC options a lot and can wait for that premise. What only truly matters is that its coming out not too soon...

How do we even know the exclusivity deal is over? Bethesda has never said anything to answer this. All we've had from them is yet another vague statement that two somethings (add-ons, DLC, take your pick) would be exclusives, and that statement could be lawyered to mean only two or at least two.

And even if the exclusivity deal is over, there's nothing stopping Beth and Microsoft from entering into yet another exclusivity deal that covers any other add-ons or DLC that may come out. And we don't even know how many of those there will be. All we have is Pete Hines' statement that "we're not done working on Skyrim content." What does that mean? It could be another complete DLC, it could be a couple more patches to "fix" bugs, or it could be a horse armor pack.

Look. I'll be real slow-like.They. Lied. About. The. Number. Of. DLC. That. Will. Be. Timed. Exclusives. Then have the audacity to stay silent about it, stringing people along, being vague on purpose. Maybe you are ok with being a [censored] doormat in your life, but I'm not. Once piracy spikes when it does come out, I'll be laughing my ass off. It's pussies like you that are the reason that they do this [censored], you'll bend over backwards and ask for seconds. Now they are on PR mode with an army of mods here, ready to delete and ban ANYONE who dares to be angry at being treated like a [censored]. Yeah, blame piracy for bad sales some more. YOU are the [censored] disease of the industry and no one else.

That was completely uncalled for. If you can't get your point across without being immature, then just don't do it. You are now the first person on my ignore list. And I've been around for a long time.

Pretty much. Odds are that they entered into a new one without telling anyone. There's no reason for them not to.

Also, "PC users are the reason we are so big today" is just abject BS. MONEY is the reason they are big today, it has nothing to do with who gave it to them. So, they are chasing the money, just like they always have. Nothing new here kids.

I was referring to Microsoft.

Understood.
