Kind of have to wonder how did Microsoft, screw up like this? The knew the release date and what would happen on release date. But not to test their own GFWL for problems, great mistake. And they wonder why people don't want to use GFWL.

It is such a pain in the butt. I remember the first DLC I downloaded. Took nearly 20 minutes just to reach a point that I could actually start downloading. You'd figure someone like Microsoft would understand that if you want someone's money you need to do two things...

 

1. Provide something valuable in return.

2. Limit the Hassle.

 

Because if I'm not sold on the value and you also tell me it will be a pain in the ass to buy the product... I'm out. I'll either find a better product or at least someone easy to buy from (steam). So essentially, for the money I would have spent on the this DLC and the Pitt, I am now enjoying Mass Effect for the same price and non of the hassle ;-)

I dont even have the option to buy it. Errrrr I hate GFWL more than anything.

And theres a lot of crap i hate.

Like a whole lot, but thats on the top of my list.

 

Whatever happened to expansion packs? And disks you bought in a cool box that? That were reliable.

 

ANyone miss that?

 

(raises hand) I do

 

Don't worry Harabec, you're in good company >DLC to go retail soon<

 

I wont deal with G4WL. I may buy them when they are on a store shelf. Nothing like having physical medium when paying for a pack IMO.

 

OMG my cries are being answered!!!!

 

Bring on the cavalry of disks to keep people from rioting because a multi-million dollar giant like MS cant pull thier heads out of thier a*****!

 

YOu sir have made my day :)

 

Unfortunantly MS pretty much ruined it (just like yesterday) because they have yet to fix this problem.

 

And without further delay, I give to you MS, one Monumental Epic FAIL.

 

(which is waaaaay worse than a plain old ordinary epic fail, just in case you were wondering hahaha)

Broken Steel... broken...

 

Somehow this is highly amusing...

 

Wasn't planning on buying it from GFWL, never liked not having some phsyical disk in my hands. That and like the other DLC I figure it won't add much to the game that modders couldn't do, or infact do better.

 

I'll get the DLC's when they comes out in stores... eventually.

Good stuff!

 

 

Looks like I'll be able get it and have a hard-copy backup.

 

Whenever that will be... :dry:

The insane irony of this is GFWL is designed to cater to the instant gratification impulse of gamers. Sell somebody something they want instantly in a media they get a refund for. Its psychology at its best and shrewd business at its worse.
