Im in total agreement. Like in the podcast they talked about how the XBox marketplace should be a free market economy. But since msft controls it, they say what goes. So theyre telling developers that WANT to give FREE content that they cant. As an xbox live member this is complete and utter bullshit to me. If it makes another game look bad, so what? Make a better game, dont try to shovel worthless shit down my throat. If anything, I think that giving the DLC away for free would actually help the community, I have friends that wont buy the maps but have gold memberships. Does that mean that if I were to buy the maps then we wouldnt be able to play Gears any more? What the fuck M$, stop being so fucking greedy. One of the reasons I bought a 360 was because it was really close to pc gaming, but with all the extras already there. What I didnt think about was M$ greed, and how it was not really going to be like pc gaming at all...

Just wrote my rep. Oh and, FUCK YOU RIC KELLER.
I must say that quote got me a little choked up. I hope it doesnt come down to that but; as you say, the tree does look a tad dry.
