I also think people get entirely carried away with certain expectations and are too willing to ignore various others based on their preceived allegiances. I agree with Ghost.

In some cases that's ok, let's say a few weapons don't make cut in a game. Then the response to the game is great and they decide to release the weapons. I'm sure there's some work involved in making the weapons work in the game so go ahead and charge me $2-$5, no big deal. I hate games being pushed back, I think we all do. The think is if the game's bad or buggy I don't want it. I can't wait for some Double Agent action, but I'm a huge fan of that series, and if the game's not ready I don't want it.

One thing I think we could all learn in this "digital delivery gotta have it yesterday" world is that we need to have patience and just enjoy what we have. Often people have completed the games they have before screeming for the next title. If a developer says it will be out by a date, always assume it will be out sometime after that date and that the date is actually an approximation. Also I am a bit tired of people complaining that they have to pay for add-ons. People, with expensive programming and arts degrees, working many hours to provide this content and the software labels have to pay to provide it to the users. Gamers just need to suck it up and decide whether they want to buy it, not complain that it costs or that it costs so much. I would rather pay and have choice than have developers decide it's too cost prohibitave to even offer downloadable content. I think I am preaching to the chior here, however. I think most of the Unscripted360 readers understand that patience is necessary and that the dollars we spend to buy software actually have value for us and also help continue future development efforts.
