You're thinking from the point of view of somebody that already intends to buy the game. Marketing maneuvers that advertise DLC in advance show that the game will receive continued support; it's intended to get those sitting on the fence to pick it up as well. It's like saying "after we...

Put bluntly: get over it. You think the company is going to fire one of their best writers because you took personal offense to something he said? Go cry me a fucking river, seriously. How childish can you get?

I'm a staunch anti-piracy advocate but even I'll say this is fine, on one condition: that you own the PC version of the game in the first place. It's still piracy if you buy a game for 360 and then pirate the PC version, for instance.

Are there any fellow Etrian Odyssey III adventurers in the crowd? I thought I'd try throwing this out here as well in case there were people that could make use of it. This is taken from an Atlus posting on Facebook: Some additional details, derived from the Atlus forum: It's...

Demons Souls is rather stressful but, oddly enough, in a good way. Maybe I'm just a masochist? For negative stress, it's definitely fighting games. I love them but they hate me. -_-;
