"If I could choose between getting DLC on release date or having the Creation Kit...there wouldn't be a decision to make at all"

Why do we have to choose? It's a manufactured choice that shouldn't even exist. "Well, you guys get to make your own mods, so we're going to make you wait a month on our official DLC." Worst. Reason. Ever.

This. This post right here. Like if delaying the DLC release one month had something to do with having the CK or not.

Hell, i'll make up another fictional choice. If I had to choose between chocolate and the CK, there wouldn't be a choice at all too! If i had to choose between having my two legs and the CK, that wouln't be a choise either. Therefore, thank you Beth for letting me have chocolate, my legs and the CK at the same time! Ur awesum!

I just HAVE to take issue with this from the OP.

"I’m pretty sure taking money from Micro$oft for a month-long exclusive on DLC is a form of corruption,"

The person that stated that has absolutely NO idea what corruption is if they believe that. The utter stupidity behind the statement is baffling. Console manufacturers consistently get into contracts with developers to release for their system earlier than another and it is in no way corruption. This is not new or shocking or even to be unexpected. Whining about a simple month long wait is ridiculous.

wats the point of releasing a pack that contains prolly even more bugs then the current game ?
i don't care if it take 1 or 4 mounths, so long they fix the current bugs first

i mean wats the point of doing the forsworn quest after the war quest, you can't finish it then
they only want to make more money out the game thats all

[eodx9000]

Yeah, no.

Let the X360 console players have their exclusivity, they don't have mods like PC players do and never will. The only way I'd see DLC exclusivity as a problem is when it is actually exclusive, not simply a timed exclusive.

It's a Bethesda product; the first release is gonna be buggy. Let 360 users beta-test it for everyone, I say. Probably best not to play it seriously until the first sweeping patch comes out anyway.

God I never seen a bunch of people overreact on something that has absolutely no effect on PC users.

Long story short, we have mods, Consoles don't they aren't abandoning us, they've already gave people the tool, a tool while broken they've planned to fix. They also gave us various bugfixes, new Kill moves and other things, for FREE, and you can't wait a month to get DLC that probably won't be ANYWHERE near as big as the mods that are conjured up here at the Nexus?

I see it like this:
360 and PS3 Skyrim players get an inferior game in every way: graphics, gameplay, content, community and price (for the most part). I don't know the exact split of income, but I would bet a majority amount of revenue for Skyrim comes from the console side of consumers-- and that's for an inferior product when compared to PC. That's with all the ways that *vanilla* Skyrim isn't as good on consoles, that's without console players getting the HD texture pack from Bethesda, without a Creation Kit. Point being, Elder Scrolls could be a lot crappier for US (PC) users, if it wasn't as popular with console users. If Micro$oft is willing to pay extra money for a one-month-exclusive-period for the first DLC then I am wholly in support of it (as a PC only player)! That's more money for Bethesda, encouraging them to support and develop the series even further, which only leads to improvements for everyone, but PC users most of all.

If they don't want the money from the PC Player that is fine.

Microsoft is probably feeling the pinch that they stubbornly refuse to let people create meaningful content on their platforms, thus they want to get something back. All greedy, and shallow. - The usual way of the western corporate system in the modern day, it is changing though and self inverted corporations like microsoft will hopefully the first to fall inward upon themselves.

I see it like this:

That sounds like the description of how business is done... in flowery-pink-double-rainbow-fun-land.

[zxeddery]

Too bad we have to wait over a month, I hope we don't need too wait more than 2 months max.
