Recently one of the big stories in gaming is Microsoft's decision to not make the new maps on Gears of War free for the public against Epic's own choice. A compromise has been met and you will be happy to know that you can get it for free, if you wait several months after release.
So in this example you're basically you're paying a monthly fee to again pay another fee for new content, now it's Microsoft's service that's being used so it can be argued that it's within it's rights to do so but this is an example of why I'm slowly starting to dislike the current gaming scene.
Even in the days of the Dreamcast there have been games that have required you to download parts of games to actually fully complete them, in Skies of Arcadia (<3) for example to get one (out of thirty) of the needed collectible items for an uber weapon you need to download the island it's on first which for me back then was not possible.
Today it would be easier to do this but what are peoples opinions of what is too much when it comes to possible payment? Do you dislike having to download patches or content for consoles to actually play some games fully these days so you're effectually paying for an incomplete game or not?
And please don't use the term Micro$oft or M$, you look like a twat when you do.
