Article: Is Microsoft ripping you off?

Quote:
Mark Rein explicitly stated that the studio had wanted to release a set of Gears of War map packs free of charge, but was told no by Microsoft...

..."So what we've agreed to do is to put these maps on sale at a reasonable price, then make them free a few months later."


If this is true, then some of us may have been BONED.

No. We knew they were going to be free in September (or close to that month).

I dunno. One of those months.

At least I knew, and everyone I talked to about the maps knew that they would be free. So we didn't get "boned", as that would be unwilling, and we purposefully forked over a whopping ten dollars.

How long did you know the maps were going to be free? Was it as soon as the maps were announced?

And the people who I assumed were boned, were the people who were bitter about paying for the maps, but had to in order to play Gears with their friends (myself included). I didn't but it yet, so I considered myself lucky.

They announced the maps and said there was a struggle with Epic and Microsoft on the pricing and that was delaying the maps, then in the press release announcing them on the marketplace it said they would be free in september I believe it is also in the description for the download.
