| That's because here... (proof long, point short) | |

In Response To: Re: Micr$oft Machinima Rules (Narcogen) ...you all have come to accept Microsoft's ownership of Bungie. Come on. Halo 3 Doritos? The game will undoubtedbly turn out awesome if only because they actually have psychiatrists helping them make the campaign, but that doesn't mean the Halo series hasn't become a shameless sellout. Microsoft seems to be able to muscle out anyone doing anything that remotely involves them. Epic wanted to make their second map pack free, MS cracks the whip for profit purposes, they're forced to back down and make you pay 10 dollars for 4 maps using recycled textures and models when the 70-dollar game came with 10 maps plus the actual game until Halo 3 comes out. Clueless, average console users just see something that would be nice to have, and seeing that it's not a lot of money (because they don't understand the concept of value), they buy it. Oh, and no games will have friends-joinable ranked match capabilities until at LEAST Halo 3 comes out. You know what happens? Once again, average users + chance to rank with friends = sales for Micrsoft, loss of players online for other games, decreasing their resale AND replay value, people start ONLY playing Halo 3 and will most likely be uninterested in other upcoming games, Microsoft can drop a lot of suppor tfor other games so that their development time and money goes to greater use (time spent upgrading Halo 3 goes to more use than, say, time spent upgrading Shadowrun). Microsoft makes money, other companies don't. No, it's not "econonmy", it's monopoly, and no, I won't stop "complaining", because otherwise who's going to simultaneously point out these problems and also back up these points? No, I haven't bought the maps. My copy of Halo 2 is secondhand, and will be traded in along with PGR3, Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge, and GRAW (the last two taken with permission from a cousin who didn't like them...CS was bullshit and GRAW was annoying, plus I had deleted my gamesaves from my rental of that game before I got it from him, so I never played it) to get Halo 3, because it's ridiculously expensive, along with every other video game out for this generation of consoles, and Blockbuster's 4-games-for-halo-3 deal rocks. And Dustbunny, sure, everybody likes money, but not everyone will do anything for it or is willing to, as they say, push others under to make their way up, and not everyone likes to turn a blind eye when someone does it to someone else. For example, sure, you love money, but not enough to say, kill a family member for, say, 100% shares in Microsoft. Or, say, you wouldn't accept money coming in from a warlord who's pillaging villages in Africa, even if it was no strings attached.
