Weekend Confirmed 82 - Firefall, Dark Souls, Space Marine 2
by Xav de Matos, Oct 14, 2011 11:00am PDTWith Garnett Lee at a secret undisclosed location (called Portland), it's up to Jeff Cannata and Xav de Matos to carry the big show once again. This week, freelancer Billy Berghammer and Red 5 Studios founder and CEO Mark Kern join the party to discuss Red 5's Firefall, tell some World of Warcraft stories and discuss some more Dark Souls. Xav also spills the beans on a recent interview with THQ executive VP of Core Games Danny Bilson, and talks about the future of Relic's Space Marine franchise and teases some hands-on with Saint's Row: The Third. We wrap it up with questions from the audience and finishing moves.

Comments
Mark Kern (not sure of the exact spelling) saying it "fixes the used game problem" is a slap in the face to anyone who games and should be permanantly banned from ever appearing on a podcast ever again.
I guess it's easy to defend stuff that screws customers when you get review copies for free.

If instead of what happened with the release of Arkham City Rocksteady just sat on the catwoman content for a few months and then sold it this wouldn't be a point of contention. If Rocksteady also then gave away this first bit of DLC to free to anyone who bought it new than fans would be ecstatic.
I feel like trying to riot against these type of practices would only lead to the removal or postponement of single player content so that developers/publishers can sell it to everyone later on. I much rather this system of rewarding the person who buys it new.
