Wasn't $60.00 bucks enough?

I just came from Pasta Padre's site and learned that the AFL jersey DLC will not be free and will have some added stuff to it. Now I know that there is a buisness to be ran but does that mean you alienate all the buyers of your products just so you can squeeze a little more cash out of them. I am truly dissapointed in this and I think it is starting to go too far.

Yes, because Madden is the first game ever to charge for DLC?

Wouldnt extra AFL jerseys be considered extra content?? Therefore why would you not expect to pay extra for said content??

I believe the implication from the Dev Blogs were that they would be free.

Actually they are milking you and me for something that was in the game for years. It's quite sad that you can't see this as a problem. I work for my money and so does my wife, and if they keep charging for every little thing than they can forget about my money. Yes they have a right to charge what they want, but this isn't like a map pack, or a new set of levels, this is basic stuff that was built into the games for years. They just now relized how much more they can get out of us.

Stuff like this shouldnt be DLC though. There are somethings I wouldnt mind paying extra for, but some of the stuff is ridiculous. Like that keep a player unretired thing. I want the ability to talk my players out of retirement...not force them to unretire using a cheat I had to pay for. This isnt Blitz...its a sim game, or at least its supposed to be.

I mean, where does it end? If our kicker kicks a ball into the stands, are we going to be required to purchase a new football before resuming play?

The thing is....you DON'T NEED the jerseys...you just want them, and you don't want to pay for them. If you don't want to pay for them, then don't download them.

It's not like they released the game without a football in it and you have to pay to use one in the game. People need to learn to separate their needs from their wants, and disappointment that they're assumptions didn't come true.

Heres your answer to my gripe.
