I think it's crazy how many of these threads popped up the moment an exclusive DLC deal was announced.
I mean, really... what? Weren't half you folks the same ones who were... just the other day... on -another- thread COMPLAINING about how much you hate DLC and what a rip-off it would be if they unlocked content intended to be in the original game, and all that jazz?
Wasn't that this very same forum?
What the hell happened?
Suddenly everyone is all concerned they're going to get one-upped?
Really, now? This is precisely WHY they announced that the DLC was going to be exclusive... and every single one of you who gets all hyped up about either getting ripped off or getting your 'exclusive' DLC is doing nothing other than playing RIGHT into the hands of the marketing department. Anyone with half a brain knows that unless the DLC is trivial and meaningless, it's only going to stay XBOX exclusive for just as long as it takes New Vegas to milk every last penny out of the console users.
Then, with all you folks in a fury over being 'left out'... SURPRISE! They'll magically change their tune... and sell MILLIONS more dollars worth of DLC content, where-as before... all you folks would have been saying: "DLC? Where the hell's my PATCH!?"
Ah, marketing. Sometimes I'm glad I paid attention in Business and Marketing Principles.
Just a shame I can't find a damn job doing that right now.
