All I know is will buy Makeb 100% because I love the game and it gives me 5 more levels and some new story. So I don't care when I'm gonna pay, because I know I will pay eventually. Plus I get a 5 day head start.
I Pre-Ordered AC3 knowing nothing except for it's setting...

Let's look at your example! For GTA V we have two full blown trailers highlighting numerous key features, over a hundred screen shots showing us the art, detail, and cool new stuff, and about a dozen articles and interviews with people saying what they've changed and added between iterations.

Everything we know about Makeb can be summed up in two sentences. So it's not even remotely the same, but I like how people keep saying it.

Cheaper than going to Starbucks.


However, when i go to Starbucks I know how what I'll be ordering is like.

So nope, not pre-ordering.

They've managed to bring underhanded business practices to a whole new level. Unfortunately I do enjoy the game that was put out by the original development team and plan to stick around a month or two as I want to enjoy all the story lines to fifty....but I'll not be buying the expansion or anything else moving forward and will be moving back to Wow after that.

The best thing that could happen to this game is to fold up and close the doors as its fallen into the hands of less then honorable management only interested in moving a product, hitting quotas, and not producing a quality product over the long term.

Most unfortunate.
This. Some guy literally drops half the known curse words on Earth on me in a single post, Re, Fa, F.U, Cu, etc, all of them. I respond saying something along the lines of. "Can't tell if you're angry or trolling, if you're just angry chill and try and try to rephrase that without being so obscene and I'll respond, if trolling, have a great day."

Get an email saying "calling out another poster for trolling is against our forum's rules of conduct as it distracts from the conversation taking place. Remember, if you believe someone is trolling, please add them to ignore and do not respond."

Came with 3 infraction points...

So, who wants to bet these people whining about 10 dollars for potentially hundreds of hours worth of enjoyment at level 55 are the same people who spend 15 bucks every single time Call of Duty releases a map pack- and then throws their sixty bucks to Actiblizzard every time they rerelease CoD-MW1- I mean, every time they put out the same game they put out last year- I mean, releases a completely new and innovative new game that is new and newer than last year's new game?

Though- you do at least get a new 2 hour campaign for that sixty bucks- that's 30 bucks an hour before you get to start complaining about how MW still has the best pvp out of all of them! Well worth it.

Well.. I spent $300 on 2 CE for my wife and myself.. I can hardly complain about spending $20 for the expansion for my wife and myself..

My only complaint is there isn't a CE of the expansion.. Somewhat disappointed it is Digital only.. But oh well.. Both the wife and I are pre-ordered.. So.. We are good to go..

These people remind me of the other group of complainers, (cartel packs)

They whine, complain, argue, and rage all on the forums, but when they come out or its avaliable they buy them (and most buy more)

so these people, however angry, entitled, and whiney they may be, you'll see them on makeb. Like all the rest.

Must suck having to look up every available detail on everything you buy before you spend 10 bucks on it, sounds like a lot of work.

What if you go to a restaurant and they don't have an internet page telling you how every meal is made, along with reviews from patrons and critics about how good that 15 dollar +tax+tip meal is? Do you just order water?

Well, I don't play console games, but I will tell you that I easily drop the cash for a new WoW Expasnion every two years, and to SOE for the DCUO Cash Shop, and to Rift for its Storm Legion expansion, and . . .

I have no issue spending money on an MMO. I have an issue with EA's handling of this DLC and game as a whole (expansion is way too generous, it is a DLC, same as DCUO puts out every 3-4 months for $10).

SWTOR could be a fun game for me. Unfortunately, EA ripped the fun right out of it with how they've handled not only the game, but their customers.

(And before you claim I obviously still subscribe to it, I don't. My sub ended December 24th. But because the forum keeps me automatically logged in, my posting ability never ended.)

We have three days left to meet the deadline and the only things we know about what we are purchasing is that it has 5 more levels and a new planet. I believe there will be more to it than that, hopefully new Ops, FPs, and WZs, but for all we know there won't be.

How can you expect us to fork out money on such an unknown quantity?
The answer is yes. It's only 10 bucks. Now if it was a wow expansion price with this little info (40 bucks), I'd say Fork No.

If you spend money in the DCUO cash shop and help finance SOE games, you really shouldn't be complaining about Makeb at all.
