Stuff that's made after the game goes gold is not being cut from the game. I reiterate, stop being an idiot.

Good thing that's not what's going on here then. I'm just SPEAKING UP ON KOTAKU about how all this whiny bullshit is obnoxious.

so 10 maps sold as an expansion for a large sum is ok, but split it up and suddenly it's an incomplete game? don't be an idiot.

what the heck are you even trying to say here? Learn to type coherently.

I'm talking about timed exclusivity as a whole, don't be obtuse.

I'm talking about people with both systems. If you have both, why would you knowingly buy what is, in essence, an inferior product? Especially when it comes to things like multiplayer content like map packs.

my point was MS pays money for the timed deals because it means more 360 copies sold. not that it was actual permanent exclusivity.

sells more copies of the 360 version, if the exclusivity is well known

Yes, how dare a multiplayer shooter have map packs, and announce that they are coming ahead of time. I am so glad no other multiplayer shooters would do something like this. THOSE BASTARDS.

It's a standalone expansion in the vein of Dead Rising: Off the Record, not jusr a small bit of DLC. Let's not spread misinformation here.

LET'S KILL DEATH!

The problem with this logic is having a new game does not in any way diminish the quality of the old one. game 4 being bad doesn't retroactively make 1-3 terrible, etc. I can see maaaaybe saying the story is cheapened, if the canon gets all mucked up, but even that is easily ignorable.

Fair enough.

There's certainly some validity to that, but whining about CoD in every CoD post does nothing but annoy people. How about turning that into something positive, go tell people about an innovative or underappreciated game, start spreading the word. You can't lose weight by sitting around complaining about how your pants…

Agreed.

you're perfectly welcome to say all games after a certain point suck, the problem is acting as though that opinion means the tons of people who still enjoy it shouldn't be allowed to keep enjoying it, and that the series has to end. Ultimately people should like what they want to, and dislike what they want to,…

I'm not saying you have to like it. I'm just saying that it's selfish and dickish to say something should end just because you personally dislike it.

Yes because having an actual serious discussion is clearly worse than being one of fifty people going LOL FUCK CALL OF DUTY. It has nothing to do with being "holier than thou" and everything to do with being sick and tired of people constantly complaining about things they don't play. You don't like a series? Don't…

It's the same with TV shows, I know people who are constantly talking about How I Met Your Mother should be canceled because "it's not as good any more", but plenty of people still watch and enjoy it. Seems selfish and naive to demand something end, just because you don't like it anymore.

Oh I'm aware it's hypothetical, but I see people constantly voice the opinion "this series needs to end" take the obvious example of CoD. obviously millions of people still play it. Just because you think the series should be over doesn't mean it doesn't make you sound like a twat when you say "GOD THIS SERIES NEEDS…
