Biblost Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Please DO NOT add your signature here but on the IPetitions website : http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/Fallout3DLC Thank you. Hello everyone, Bethesda Softworks has really gone too far with the last two DLC for Fallout 3. They charge $10 for (barely) 2 hours of gameplay. Some players think that's enough, and that's why the DLC are popular. Most players feel extremely dissapointed and betrayed. Bethesda Softworks needs to act: -Either decrease the price of the DLC to about $3. -Or add MUCH more content to each DLC. If you (or your friends) have one of the DLC and had the same feeling when playing it, then please sign. Bib-lost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halororor Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Yeah, if you look at Oblivion's DLC that went for $2, $10 is a bit steep. I doubt this will help anyway, as a lot of people will still buy the DLC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt this will help anyway, as a lot of people will still buy the DLC. I know, that's why Bethesda hasn't changed it already. But a large part of the gaming industry also relies on the hardcore players, who obviously play and pay the most. If they make such small stuff and sell it for $10 (really, I've seen player mods that are better then the DLC), then casual players might want it, but hardcore players don't. Hardcore players might even become very angry and NEVER want to buy anything from Bethesda again. Unlike with CD-rom games, devices, and basically anything but DLC, there's one important thing that should be noticed: The supplies are limited. If I buy a CD for $50, about $5 goes to the production. With the DLC, there's $0 going to the production, so even if they would give it away for free, they wouldn't lose money. That's why DLC should be a lot cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muppetsoup Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 0$ for production?Seriously? The people who make the thing don't work for free you know. So no, they couldn't give it away for free and break even. Make it 5$ and no GFWL, and you have a point. As it is, you are ignorant at best.

Thus, $0 for distribution is more accurate, though not entirely correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circuitous Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 A petition? Really? God, an online petition? You're really goin' for the big hit, aren'tcha? Just don't buy them. That's pretty easy, isn't it? As a consumer, your dollar is your voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for each copy you get from the DLC, they don't lose money, as downloads are infinite. What I'm trying to do is make the DLC for Fallout 3 like the DLC for Oblivion. @ Circitous What do you expect me to make? Letters for everyone? That would cost at least 10x Operation : Anchorage, you know. Online petitions are free, and might even be effective, as why would someone make a whole server for online petitions?
