Skate 2 DLC rip-off?
January 21, 2009
Skate 2: I do not enjoy the current trend of paying extra for stuff that developer’s have ready for the launch of a game. This generation of games are ten dollars more on average than the games from the last generation, but now gamers have to deal with scams that companies (EA for instance, apparently) pull on the downloadable marketplaces (Xbox Live, PSN, etc). In Ign’s review of Skate 2, they mention that a feature from Skate 1, has been removed from Skate 2, so Electronic Arts can charge extra for it after the game’s release. The feature is mere editing effects for videos that are mostly used for EA’s free advertisement. Personally, my purchasing of this game has come into question because of this news.
I will not pay extra for editing effects, I can promise that.

Really? Damn! I hate it when they do this! I also dislike how games are being rushed out the door with glitches as they know they can just patch them up months later.

Well im not suprised to hear this especially with EA’s name in the mix. Was it not EA that allowed PS2 users to freely use cheat codes in The Godfather but Xbox users had to buy the same cheat codes in the Xbox Marketplace. To quote Phil Jackson it feels like EA tries to give the “Brokeback Mountain” treatment everytime they can. I mean when are they going to realize the only reason they make the money they do is cuz they monopolized the football market. Hell the only game worth a pig’s fart that they put out is the NHL series.
