DLC's going to the 360 first? Hey Bethesda - I have bought most of your games since you began. I have always played on my computer and always will. Nice way to alienate your long time fans.

The only good I can see coming from this is that they will probably release it and it will be full of bugs. So when they release it for PC, after the xbox beta testers have had a month to test it, I'm sure the PC version will be polished up.

Still, this is pretty much a slap in the face to the long-time fans of TES.

You think they would sell them at the same time for more money upfront.

I'm more surprised people are just learning about this :huh:

The fact that the 360 is getting DLC earlier than everything else has been known for quite some time.

What difference does it make? I don't even know why microsoft bothers with the 30 days of exclusivity. It's not like anyone is switching to their platform because of that. Nobody even knows about it until it happens. It's just dumb.

If bethesda had any dignity, they would have declined and said "no, [censored] off microsoft. We don't play favorites. We're going to release the DLCs at the same time for everyone. we care more about our fans than we do about a few extra bucks. Not that you would be able to understand this, you soulless corporation of festering greed."

I don't feel particularly alienated by this. People that can't get the construction set will have more reason to want official addons, and that will be coming out before any of the DLC. There'll probably still be tons of stuff I haven't done yet in the game anyway by the time the DLC is ready.

The DLC was supposed to be released on PC first, but then Todd Howard took an arrow to the knee.

They are just trying to see how long they can keep console users distracted from the inevitable quality gap between vanilla Skyrim and modded Skyrim for PC.

Early releases for console and the delay of the construction kit are all just part of a comprehensive strategy to ship as many console units as possible before all the amazing PC mods start rolling out and console users become uninterested.

This is about all the cash bethesda gets from this deal. Its a good thing.

The mod community puts out far superior DLC...that is always free.

...and always inevitably stolen by the devs to put in their next installments of X series. Heh ;)

It is less about Bethesda so called "not having dignity" and more of people like you not having patience. They are not playing favorites at all. They got paid to do something and they did it. And even after that they are releasing it to everyone. They run a business.

Meh. Kind of annoying but it I'm not that upset about it. I can keep myself entertained in Skyrim for a month...of course I would sooner eat a finger than buy an xbox for just this reason...:)

Everyone complaining about this and that...they need to make money.
Get over it, YOU don't count, unless you wanna cough up the money?

Yes it's about the money! They need it, they want it!
Where do you think game developers fundings comes from? Just the customers? Get over yourself!.

Geez getting sick and tired of kids going buhu i have to wait 1 month for a DLC. Facepalm.
