As i said somewhere previously on this site, Microsoft have a great opportunity to release content for free and thereby gain market share because news of stuff like that spreads quickly. The industry of selling extra content for games wouldn't net microsoft even close to the profits they get from all their other stuff, so I don't see why be so greedy.

Because they feel the marketshare they currently own is not quite big enough yet, so why not expand and feed us with even more BS at a cost.

If anything, Microsoft is doing everything to lose market share with these stupid content add-ons for ridiculous prices. Of course, this only makes me happy cause M$ sucks, but it's still unbelievable how short term their outlook is in some cases.

M$ will get bad press, but seriously, will that really effect them? Microsoft deal with bad press often, and still they control most markets they are involved in, they will make more money by selling the updates because people WILL pay for the updates. I do not agree with the way they work but what they do works and a little bad press will be brushed off as usual. :/

Even Windows? Good luck. (You'll be back :P)
