Dear BioWhere fansboys,

I watched every single fucking episode of LOST, including that shit pile of an ending. So suck it up Nancy, and move on.

If LOST were interactive, with every choice you’d made for 100+ hours being sold as relevant to the ending, I’d sympathize. But it wasn’t, it was a scripted brain fart that ran longer than it should that most fans had figured out the ending in the first season.

On this…

Since the dawn of video gaming, developers have had to cut content in order to meet their publisher’s deadlines and budget restraints. Sometimes because said content was not fully finished, sometimes because the bugs weren’t fully squashed.

Since the advent of paid DLC, publishers and developers have found a way to profit on the tidbits left on the cutting room floor that did not first meet the deadline or the budget.

To me, it’s seems an awful lot like paying for a software patch, which is why I do not nor ever have participated in the paid DLC scam.

Of course, I exempt paid DLC expansion packs that add tons of more content and many more hours of gameplay. Although I don’t pay for those separately either. I just wait for GOTY editions with all that shit bundled.

Bioware doesn’t release GOTY editions, at least not ones with the DLCs as part of the deal. You want the DLCs for their games, prepare to be bled dry.
