So why is the DLC Xbox only?

Post » Thu Jan 08, 2009 4:44 pm

Kinda lame as we paid for the game the same price as the Xbox. i just wanna use a mouse and keyboard not a controller to play this game. I checked all over the net and i can't find one legitimate reason they kept it off PC.

Oh i found the DLC general discussion. i dunno if this belongs in there or not.

This isn't the first time this has happened. Microsoft pays company "X" a couple million or so to make Game/DLC "Y" xbox-only for a while.

There is a legitimate reason. Microsoft paid them a lot of money to. We may not like it, but that's business. Bethesda needs to make a profit; if they don't, they go under (or worse, get bought out by somebody like EA), and we don't get anymore games from them.
It'll be out for other platforms before long, and with any luck, most of the bugs will have been worked out by then.

Microsoft pays Bethesda to release the DLC for the Xbox first, and to hold back on releasing it for the other systems for a while in the hope that it'll sway some people to buy the xbox version instead.

This topic has been hashed and rehashed and re-rehashed.

Notwithstanding, it still is not a topic for General Discussion. If the moderators deem it worthy of continuing they might want to move it to the DLC forum. Or just close it—whatever...
