In Response To: Re: I didn't see any proof. (Cody Miller) : It works both ways. Gears sold Xboxes. Free map packs will keep people : playing on XBL for longer (and paying for the privilage). How exactly does : Microsoft not win here? It's hard to quantify what happens when you give : something away. You may end up with more money, you may end up with less, : but you will end up with good will from your customers, which could build : brand loyalty. : You may gain more intital profit from selling packs and whatnot, but I do : think people resent being nickel-and-dimed for every new : map/skin/whatever. In the long run, who knows what this will do, but it's : very possible that it could benefit both epic and MS. I wasn't trying to suggest that there weren't ways for Microsoft to benefit regardless of how the map pack was distributed; merely that given they have the keys to the store, the call is theirs, and that as such, they are more than "remotely related" to that decision, as was suggested earlier in the thread.
