jmFerris, i generally agree with your overview of the "software development practice" and agree that many of the tin-hat theories are reaching. But I believe you over look 2 very important facts. The first fact, and I will call it a fact, is the gross difference between what was advertised and what was sold. We have visual, dated proof of misleading, and even fraudulent, features and claims of this game. There are many reasons this could have happened. My guess is that it, like most things, is somewhere in the middle of cost cutting and schedule managing. We dont know the reasons, but we do know that what we all bought was not what was being marketed for the previous 2-3 years. The second, and this is key, the majority of the gaming market are not an educated consumers. Most sound consumers will change future purchase practices depending on current exceptions being met or not. I think it is naive to think that the activisions of the world don't know this and prey on it. For every educated consumer they lose, 10 more will buy dlc. If that is the case, what does that say about your product? I don't believe you can completely dismiss this entire video. He makes many sounds points and valid questions. He is not presenting facts, but using his opinions to persuade. I don't see anything wrong with it. Frankly, it is more refreshing then many of the mindless sheep i read on this forum. Good day.
