Your analogy would work if you chose not to pay, and then they scraped the cheese off of the burger right in front of you.

Oh look, it's this thread again. Oh look, another one who thinks they're so important they get to tell others what to do or what to think.

Personally I think it would work better if they presented you with the cheese on the burger but instead of taking it off if you refused to pay they sold it to you with the cheese in a plastic bag that you have to pay them to remove and if you try to remove the slice of cheese yourself that they sold you they accuse you of stealing the cheese that you paid for.

Oh Gods, the ME3 threads have escaped Gaming Discussion and are spreading!
We have to control the infection before ME3 replies end up in completely non related threads! GET THE FLAME THROWERS!!!!!
Mac wants a what?


I'm ready. The heart is deep within the gaming section, we face impossible odds. But otherwise, the escapist will be buried under fan rage. Are you with me, comrade??

Do you want the threads about Day One Dlc or the ones about the ending?
I want the endings, the course is hard and suicidal. I want to die knowing I fought for what I believed in, damnit!

I believe Vork can share some wisdom regarding cheese gouging.

As for the DLC thing... meh.

If we're using fast food analogies, I think it is more like Meal vs A La Carte. If you buy the full meal up front, you essentially get the drink for free. If you just buy the burger, it is cheaper up-front, but you don't get a drink or fries. If you want a drink or fries later, you have to pay more.

It's not a perfect analogy, but then again, none are; and people are only forgiving to the analogies that support their own viewpoint. So, again, meh.

Man, good thing I already had lunch, otherwise I'd be making some poor nutrition choices...

I agree, it's terrible how McDonald's charge you extra money for cheese.
I KNOW, RIGHT?! And it's not even cheese, it's just some gray paste and food coloring!

OT: I completely agree. If you buy a car, do you demand genuine leather seats, twin DVDs and a ski rack for free because they exist? No, you pay extra if you want it. And stop complaining about the Javik DLC being on the disc. It's not. They put what was completed by the time the main game got gold to reduce the download time after we got the DLC. Why the fuck would you have to download half a GB if the DLC is on the disc? And if you play the game it's obvious that Javik was added in after the game was finished. You get some extra scenes and dialogue, but they really did not just rip a character off the game to sell him to us. It's an extra.
What do you want modelers and animators to do once the main assets are complete? Go home and weep onto their time sheets? I'd rather they added stuff to the game instead, thanks.

The McDonald's metaphor was quite possibly the funniest thing I've read today. Thank you good sir, and yeah people should really stop whining.

You'd think using a flamethrower alone would indicate exactly how few fucks these gentlemen give. The fact that they have facial hair and are using flamethrowers puts them into negative fucks. Their level of badassery is in the 9000+ range.

Captcha: "too bad", fitting.

First, you are overpaying for cheese like you are overpaying for coke or water. It doesn't matter the cheese is there.


Second, if a developer is working overtime how about focusing on the game, not on profit?

If they want to fill out their free time with extra work, they are free to do so. But if they are so focused on the game they shouldn't be making content, they should be perfecting it.

Perhaps less overtime will make developers more effective during work hours.

If you mean purely aesthetic DLC, then in my opinion that kind of DLC should rot in hell.

I can't tell others what to do with their money but if alternate costumes cost 1/6 of what the game does then I'll kindly tell everyone to stop giving them more ideas.

What's all this crap about Mass Effect 3? I thought this was about cheeseburgers. I should get someone's moral and intellectual superiority for free, since it's already complete.
And don't get that cheese on your burger anyway. It's processed fat and food coloring. You'd be better off putting a napkin on top and eat that.
And avoid mayo, use mustard instead.

If the files are on the disc, it is yours. Optional or not, if you have the data they should not charge you. I'm getting tired of this "software as a service" bullshit where they can change and take away from you whatever they like. It's not DOWNLOADABLE Content if it's already there.

I know this is just an argument over semantics but I'm sure they'd get a little less flak if there weren't any files for the "DLC" on the disc. If you actually had to download your Downloadable Content rather than unlocking it, I feel reaction would be much more favorable.

If it's already on the disc there is no nice way of explaining it, they are fucking you over and they know you will take it.
OhJohnNo said:
That's where I draw the line - if it's on the disk, it should be yours without extra payment. So yeah, in this matter I do actually agree with you, sorry.
So the developers shouldn't get paid for extra work if they finish it early enough to put it on the disc?.
Not when the developers are trying their absolute hardest to convince you that it isn't.

I don't have a problem with DLC.

But does anyone else know that the "From Ashes" DLC which EA/Bioware stated was not on the disk, and was not worked on until production was finished. Is actually on all disks, and does not require the DLC to be used. My problem is they lied.

Well, I pirate. I order the burger, take a bite of it, decide if I like it or not and pay nothing either way. If I don't like it I don't pay for the cheese either.

Or when they turn around offer the "Komplete Edition" with the cheese included, I take that for free too.

And when the customers on line behind me complain that I should be supporting the food chain like they are, I laugh at them cause there's nothing they can do about it.

There's your analogy, suckers.
You might want to rephrase that.
