There's a point in time where I can get fed up with something. I'm usually very tolerant of what goes on in the video game industry and very understanding but I just read on Gamespot.com that Modern Warfare 2 XBL avatar clothes are coming--hopefully some will be free.
Hopefully? With all the DLC, the crazy pre-orders, etc, this content should be, without a doubt, free. This is the point where I am truly fed up with the DLC market and how it attempts to empty our pockets. Of course, I don't have to buy it and I may or may not--maybe if it's free I'll get it--hopefully. I just find it disgusting right now.
My feelings may be based on all the crazy hate on Activision and their cash-cowing as of late but to be honest, I don't want to pay crazy amounts for some clothes. Frankly, I don't want anyone to pay for game-based clothing. It should be a small bonus for buying the game in the first place. I think that's fair. Buy a game, get some free avatar clothes. We have to pay for themes and icons, at least give us some free clothes.
This is the first time I've ever posted this sort of rant on a forum. They always seem so illogical and stupid when I read them so I won't be surprised if this sounds the same way. Oh well. I hope the clothes are cool, at least.
Hopefully free? Hopefully?! Some?!

never...
none of the GH5 stuff was free.
Why would Activision NOT sell items for their biggest game of the year?
" There hasn't been one bit of free avatar clothes since they introduced the marketplace, AFAIK. Sucks, but avatars suck, so sucking makes sense. "I think there's a t-shirt or two on there that's free. At least one, as I remember seeing it when I was browsing through the clothing. But, besides that, yea. I highly doubt they'll give anything free.
" Of all the things to rant about, you rant about avatar clothes, the most superfluous part of the MW2 experience? "The clothes is not the point. The point is having to pay for something that is, in your words, "the most superfluous part of the MW2 experience."
But there should at least be ethics to it. If it doesn't improve or affect the game in any way, why should they expect people to pay for something that will allow them to pay for something that won't do much for them? Hell, at least make it an unlockable for playing a certain amount of online multiplayer.
