No worries, it's an urban legend that's been floating around for ages.

Even though the tale itself isn't true, I think it says something that most people see it as entirely plausible, and not "too crazy to be true."

In other news, I used to be a huge nintendo fanboy, and I like seeing things like this.



When it comes to DLC/Microtransactions in games, I really like the League of Legends model, the only things that are 'exclusive' to paying customers are purely cosmetic, you can't buy in-game advantages and anything that is purchaseable with RL cash is also obtainable in-game, it just takes longer.

DLC/Micro-transactions are absolutely the future, but I do agree that when implemented poorly, they suck massively. Nothing wrong with selling a full, complete game and then having new content beyond it be DLC that you pay like 10 bucks for or something. Hell, technically, that's what WoW is.

I submit an excellent video on the subject by Extra Credits. One of their big points is that you absolutely shouldn't create a divide between paying players and non-paying players.

Well, right now, the DLC stuff is one of the things Bioware is currently getting slammed for, along with the poor endings in ME3.

You don't need the DLC to play as the prothean -- he was included in the original game, voice acting and all and all you need is to modify two flags in one of the config files -- and yet he was released to the public as a Day 1 DLC.
