The platform holder has just announced that the first two DLC packs for Bethesda's sprawling RPG, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, will be exclusive to Xbox 360 for 30 days from release.
Ha! Are you all thinking what I'm thinking after reading the "Microsoft demands simultaneous multiplatform releases" and then reading this. Truly pathetic.
As an XBOX gamer I would prefer Microsoft use all of that money on first party game development instead. For me, timed exclusives are a big waste of money. They don't sell consoles, they don't sell more games.
Why did you capitalise Xbox? Why, as an XBOX gamer, are you more interested in how many games/consoles Microsoft sell than the actual content of those games? Why are you posting on an article about content which you're seemingly not even interested in?
Why does it matter if he capitalises Xbox? It doesn't affect the general readability of the post. He never said he was interested in how many games/consoles Microsoft sell, only that he thought the money they spend on timed exclusives would be better placed in first party games, which, as well as being more entertaining for him and providing better content, would be a better business decision for Microsoft (apparently). Never once did he never said he wasn't interested in the content of the article, he just had an opinion on where he thought the money would be better spent.I have a question for you: were you having a bad day at work?
It was a typo, but it should be said, that someone with a little more of a grasp of English should understand that a 'treble' (perhaps you mean triple?) negative means the same thing, if you read it of course - but I'll spare you the English lesson you so desperately need. Perhaps if you spent less time picking up on peoples grammar and calling people 'fuckwit's, then perhaps we could talk a little bit more about some games? By the way, I'm not your sweetheart.
Please give me my much needed English lesson. What is the difference between triple and treble?
I can't be arsed with this anymore. If you want to talk about games, talk about them, don't try to be the comments section knight in shining armour.
I asked the lad above some fair questions, I expected a couple of answers from him but instead I end up having to make you look like a tit. This site really is a let down.
I agree with the original poster. Microsoft would be better off securing first-party or second-party development, instead of paying for content that most people wont consider purchasing until the second month anyway, due to the expansiveness of the game, and the time it takes to play it. The money Microsoft have paid would be better placed in the development of exclusive games, or improving the system, which would shift them units and benefit them financially - which is of course what they want. I don't see very many people picking up an Xbox just because they get this content earlier. Ironically, what the initial poster said, and did so rather succinctly.

12Well, this sure is hypocritical of them.
Oh well. Xbox-players won't get the mods, so..

Bethestda said that they wanted cheaper games too, and then released the news of the CE costing $150. Skyrim is doing a lot of weird things here..

Come again sweetheart? I think you'd be best letting him answer the questions, I doubt he needs a fuckwit like you going all treble negative.

Getting a bit sick of this DLC crap that goes on with all the big games now.
