BioShock 2's First DLC Already On Disc

Posted by Soulskill on from the read-the-rest-of-this-post-in-a-month-for-five-bucks dept.

An anonymous reader writes with this quote from 1Up: "Trouble is brewing in Rapture. The recently released Sinclair Solutions multiplayer pack for BioShock 2 is facing upset players over the revelation that the content is already on the disc, and the $5 premium is an unlock code. It started when users on the 2K Forums noticed that the content is incredibly small: 24KB on the PC, 103KB on the PlayStation 3, and 108KB on the Xbox 360. 2K Games responded with a post explaining that the decision was made in order to keep the player base intact, without splitting it between the haves and have-nots."

    My status as an asshole changes nothing. Entitlement has nothing to do with it either. This is fascist manipulation of a government sanctioned monopoly, sanctioned by copyright law. My recourse against this perversion is to infringe the copyright assigned to this illegal behavior or deny myself goods or services .The latter, my wallet votes, have zero effect and only harm me because the majority of my fellow citizens (e.g. you) are nothing but vapid, unthinking consumers who are incapable of understanding the consequences of their wallet votes. I will not forsake my principle or deprive myself of these goods and services. If pissing off zombies like yourself is a consequence of protesting monopoly abuse, then I welcome it. Good luck with your law abiding, fan boy.

    Wow, troll much? Copying a file (especially one that I've already decided on moral grounds that I will not pay for) is NOT stealing because the company doesn't lose anything from it. In order for there to be theft, someone must lose something while another gains. They lose nothing by copying a file.

    I don't get people like you - why don't you care about your rights? Why don't you care about having control over the property you pay for? Why are you so eager to be beaten down and forced to do things against your will? It's completely illogical.
