I don't know...I could see a lot of people still buying the new Xbox despite nothing but bad news coming from it so far. I'm guessing a lot of people either won't hear about this stuff or won't care. I'm really hoping it's not the case, because I'm just tired of this shit. A lot of stuff like this, the recent SimCity fiasco, etc., just give me the impression that the a huge part of the gaming industry just treats its customers with utter contempt and disregard these days.
I don't often buy games brand new, and if prices go up again, I see myself doing so even less. I'll give money to developers and publishers I fully support, but I'm so sick of the gaming industry making us prove our loyalty (through DRM, season passes, etc.), and giving us a less-than-quality product in return.
