SEGA Release List

[MadeManG74]

Sega's EA like DLC policies only seem to affect TW.

Aliens had a Season Pass and Company of Heroes 2 while not as bad as entire factions being cock-blocked, also has a lot of gameplay altering DLC locked out.

You either die a hero like THQ or live long enough to see yourself become the bad guy like EA.

Although personally I don't think so it's fair to compare a publisher who has a mixed bag to one that has had consistently screwed over it's customers. Besides it's sadly the norm in the industry now : (

Eh, even THQ was selling online passes and other nonsense.

Being the norm doesn't make it 'good'. Sega used to be one of the good guys, now they're just a disgrace. I want to make a patented MadeMan negative thread about this topic and see who agrees and who thinks 'It's okay when Sega does it!'

Don't get me wrong, my : ( was meant to indicate my displeasure at the industry in it's current state since there's no incentive for someone to be a "good" guy. When the likes of Electronic Arts and Activision have grown to be bigger than ever whilst all the "good" guys who stuck by their principles got swallowed up by financial burdens. And now DLCs are seen as acceptable policies and that's never going away, much like paid online for console gaming.

I was in a forum the other day and people were making DLC for fangames, fangames! Just because they wanted to seem like real games. I still think SEGA does a bit more than most to not be as bad as the other publishers, wither taking a massive risk with Alien: Isolation or the free DLCs they provided for Sonic & Allstars Racing Transformed and the Typing of the Dead.

Oh yes CD Projeckt is one of the good guys left and they should be commended for their efforts. Hopefully more publishers can go down their route rather than the EA/Activision route.

Above and beyond cannot describe some of the things CDPR did in the past and the respect they command.

"Thank you for your honesty," said the spokesperson, responding to a forum thread where a user felt guilty for snagging 21 free titles. "Yesterday, due to a small glitch on our end, you and a bunch of other lucky people ended up getting games from the Linux Launch promo for free. Don't worry, though, as it's totally cool with us and you may keep them. Yes, we will not be removing these titles from your account and we do hope you will enjoy them! "
The spokesperson added that "Of course, if you prefer, like some of our community members, we can always remove [the free games] from your shelf - just let us know replying to this email. Again, there's no problem if you want to keep them "
The user who made the initial forum posting bringing the glitch to GOG's attention stated that he wanted his "ill-gotten" games removed from his library, as "I like free but I like GOG more."
