Epic, Microsoft Disagree On Gears Content

Posted by Zonk on Monday April 9, 2007 @06:50AM from the can't-we-all-just-get-along dept.

This past week, Epic's VP Mark Rein spoke with the gentlemen at 1up on the '1up Yours' Podcast. It was ... most informative. It seems that the much-delayed downloadable content for Gears of War is being held up by Microsoft, who wants to charge for the content for the game. "In the effort of promoting a profitable marketplace, however, Microsoft's compromised with the studio by deciding to follow the successful model that Halo 2 pioneered a few years ago: the new Gears of War maps will be available for a to-be-determined fee, and made free a few months from now." The site also has hands-on details for 'Annex', the new (free) multiplayer gameplay type.

Not that I think C&Ping a press release is going to hurt anyone's feelings, but is it really to much to ask that you people who have locked-down internet access at work to find a proxy and download articles yourself instead of begging others to infringe copyright on your behalf?
