Applying the information I had about the gaming-industry AND the company I bought the game from, there was NO way I could have ever figured out that an addon I´ve bought was going to be handed out for free afterwards.
This shit is like I bought a book for my kindle which then becomes free a few months later; It´s outrageous.If things become free after several years, I can cope with that(Like with Portal), but on a relatively new game?
In what way is it bad for you or outrageous ? There was no way you could sell back those games before, you lost nothing. Also, CQ is about one year old. What about all the games that are distributed basically for free in humble bundles ? What about steam sales ? I don't follow your reasoning.
And Battlefield 3 is the best multiplayer shooter currently out there - which basically forces me to buy it if I want to enjoy the best quality multiplayer-shooter.
The reason you pay is that you really want to play the game which is in your opinion the best quality MP shooter, that's fine. Still there's nothing preventing you from not doing it.
