Anybody else here who thinks that the Back to Karkand DLC thingy for Pre-Order gamers boils down to extortion?
I mean come on, if I want to wait for a decent review, I'll have to pay 12€ extra?!

You can still pre-order one day before release and the content will be free on the PC anyways. You'd just have to wait a month.

They're just trying to boost their pre-orders for whatever marketing reasons but they're not out to rip anyone off.

You can always wait a year or so, and get some BF3 full pack with all the DLC at a cheaper price....

You guys fail to see the point.
On my last info, they said that the Back to Karkand DLC will be on sale for 12€ as a mappack after the release... also on PC.

Good point, but IMO the whole DLC thing is getting out of hand.

Anyway, they got me, I pre-ordered it just so I don't have to pay even more for the BTK maps (I'll have to pay extra for them anyway, because I doubt they're included on the disc... ::))

Total bullshit. Any intentions I had of buying BF3 are certainly gone.

No matter where you buy it, except maybe other online retailers, you will be forced to install and run DICE's steam copy "Origin" for the game to launch.

So?

How does that differ from being forced to use Steam to play certain games?

I'm not against community softwares. I hate playing alone and getting friends in battlefield games is really hard if you don't use game related forums or irc channel.

I've already got Steam, why add another?  ::)

Well that'll end up being their loss because BF3 isn't the first, and won't be the last, "Origin-only" game.

I see your point but that doesn't answer my question.

I don't want to use Steam or Origin, yet I have to if I want to play Civ 5 or BF3.


While I'm not a fan of digital distribution, what better way for EA (not DICE) to grow the Origin user-base than to force people to sign up for it...just like Steam does.  ;)
