    So... more of this "exclusive content" stuff. The worst part is, they're going to give a different exclusive quest to the Gamestop version, and yet another to the Steam version. If you want the full game, you either steal the extra content packs or you buy the game 3 times, 3 times within a small window just after the game comes out because the other bad part is that this content magically disappears forever afterwards. The idea of games being digitally distributed is great, but part of that is the idea that the game should be around forever because of the manufacturing cost reduced to zero. Forced scarcity blows.

    Some parts of this generation really suck.
    "On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
