Axm wrote: I can see both sides of the argument (minus the disrespectfulness on both sides), but honestly agree with Riku as it's stuff ive also said in the past here. These are businesses, not your mother. They want your money first and foremost. If you give them it you're just saying it's ok to continue doing that business practice. They will never stop and always push the boundries consumers are willing to work with.

Video games are the same as any business. You wouldn't take your car to a garage if you didn't like how they dealt with it. You wouldn't go to a resturant if you didn't like what they did to the meat. As a consumer we vote with our wallet.
If you really think a 'company' should loose money as a business plan then you're deluded.
In the case of Mass Effect 3 if you didn't like how they handled the game you shouldn't put one penny towards it.

Its more profitable to exploit the employment laws of underdeveloped nations, does that make it right? No, no matter how much anyone tries to justify it or say its a choice or any other kind of excuse, a human being should know that exploiting someone for a gain is wrong.

Axm wrote: Right. You cant just argue morals and ideological views to companys in a capitalist country. Thats like trying to convince a homicidal theif in a gang to turn himself in even though everyone else in the gang wont. These companies get away with DLC and DRM because they continue to make money from it. Its a business model now. Pointing it out to them with just words and emotional rants does nothing to stop it.
