Downloadable Content: Past, Present and Future
65 Million B.C. Earth downloaded a large comet. This new content added features like mass extinction, no sunlight, and fiery mess. The bugs were not quite worked out.
44 B.C. Julius Caesar downloads the Ides of March pack, which brought a knife into his back, betrayal, political unrest, and power struggle.
1 A.D. Mary downloads a messiah to her womb. It provided much faith and controversy. Contained first DRM that allowed re-download after deletion.
1347 A.D. Europe downloaded a new difficulty level for their living simulation called Black Death. It increased the difficulty to breathe, poisoned blood, caused bloody vomiting and terrible aching limbs. Players found the add-on extremely unbalanced and many could not cut the mustard.
Hey Nintendo, WAKE UP! Oh, wait, you don’t care about my opinion. That must be because I’m one of those ”geeks” that your European Marketing boss, Laurent Fischer, claimed me to be at your June press event in Europe. You know what? Maybe I am a “hardcore gamer,” and maybe I have been playing games since your original 8-bit Nintendo. So you’re right, it’s probably best to short change and insult the people that have stuck with you from the beginning. Yeah, I even bought the “Crap-Cube.” Appreciate the heads up on that one.
