There is a huge difference between 30 hour expansive story content, and DLC. Yes I am aware that "DLC" stands for "Downloadable Content", but this is one of those situations where the literal definition of something gives way to the colloquial interpretation. Expansion packs have been around much longer than the current DLC trend of "pay $5 for something that used to be unlockable".

Technically, because games are content, and they are downloadabl...

My point is that the consumers who pay for these codes clearly believe that they are worth the money, otherwise they wouldn't pay for them. If the consumers here are getting what they are happy to pay for, then they are not getting scammed.

Frankly, I have no sympathy for people who are paying unnecessary money here. If the consumers in this situation made half an effort to find the codes for less money, they would discover that the codes are in fact free, and plastered a...

I don't know that I would call this a scam. To scam someone is to cheat or defraud them. The people who are paying for the codes on eBay are getting the codes. The fact that the consumer could get the codes for free with very little effort is irrelevant.

Settings -> System -> Uncheck "Limit Number of Content Items On Home Screen".

That will keep all of your downloaded games on your home screen.

I would definitely welcome folders and friend grouping though.

George was trying to cheat, and ultimately he is responsible for his own account. He willfully handed over control of his account to someone he doesn't personally know. That is on him.

I think the fairest solution is to ban Kirmit and leave George to put in the work to reacquire what he lost. That punishes Kirmit, and teaches a lesson to George about trying to have someone cheat for you (and not taking any precautions).

Edit: I suppose that George could l...

You lock your doors when you leave the house don't you?
Of course you do. That is a basic precaution that people take to protect themselves from their "fellow man".

In the same vein, George here should have taken the basic precaution of watching the Share Play session.

It's hard for me to have any sympathy here. I don't want to kick a guy while he is down, but it just isn't smart to hand over control of your game to a complete stranger, and then walk away from the controller. It also doesn't help that the kid was trying to cheat.

I am not saying it is right mind you. It is a total dick move on Kermit's part. Still, if the kid really cared about his characters, then he should have taken the basic precaution of watching th...

I really couldn't care less about this. The Government already has my name, birth-date, address, and financial information. What else are they going to learn from Sony? My gaming habits? Who cares?

There is no need for them to put DLC on disc, because all of the DLC for Witcher 3 will be free. That is how CD Projekt Red operates.

I'll get it. I never played Pre-Sequel, and I certainly wouldn't mind running through Borderlands 2 again.

I looked at the link. It isn't fair to claim that there is $130 worth of content there, because most of the listed items are just the skin packs listed a la carte. If someone were to buy all of the content, that person wouldn't be spending $130.

I didn't realize the skins were listed a la carte on the Xbox Marketplace. PS users only have the skin packs. We don't have the option of buying individual skins at this time.

I don't see where you get $130 of DLC that isn't included in the season pass. I only count $61 of DLC on the store right now that isn't included in the season pass.

Edit: I don't mean to suggest that $61 of DLC that isn't included in the season pass is a small amount, because that is pretty absurd for a handful of cosmetic skins. I just don't see where you get $130. Am I missing something?

It is worth it to me. I had already moved on to the PS4 by the time Dark Souls 2 released, so Scholar of the First Sin will be my first time playing it.

What would they change? He didn't use any glitches. He did this with pure skill and great weapons.

My PSN account is attached to both my PS4, and my brother's PS4. If I made a regrettable purchase on my account, from his console, I could easily say I was hacked too.

The short answer: Because there is a demand for it, and it is a relatively inexpensive way to generate revenue.

There is no hypocrisy unless the exact same people who are opposed to third-party exclusivity on one side also support it on another side. If a group of people who own one console express one opinion, and a different group of people who own the same console express a different opinion, that is not an example of hypocrisy. That is an example of different people having different opinions.

TL;DR: We are not the Borg. We do not have a hive mind.

Impel is the carrot, and compel is the stick. I wasn't forced in some way to make my point, but misinformation bothers me, so I had a motive to make my point, therefore I felt impelled.

I feel impelled to point out that while you are hosting, you are using your upload speed. If Netflix requires 5Mbps to stream HD movies, why would you expect to be able to upstream game content on only 2Mbps?
