Internet Complains, Forza 2 DLC Discounted
12:20PM Luke Plunkett | Let’s recap. Forza 2 DLC is announced, Forza 2 DLC is criminally expensive, and the regions of the internet that care about such things get a little huffy. Which is a problem for Turn 10 and Microsoft, because those huffy regions are the only ones that would actually pay for their DLC. Today, then, we get an announcement that the pack’s been discounted from 600 points ($Us 7.50) to 400 points ($US 5.00). Complainers of the world, hold hands and smile, for today, the day is yours.

Plus, Hartman’s not interested in doing the necessary paperwork. With the recent shake-up of internal development studios at FASA and Bungie, plus the snatching away of two third party developers to third party publishers, the Xbox crowd may be worried that Turn 10 has their eye on the door. Hartman’s pretty clear, saying of the Bungie deal that it’s a “win-win situation as far as I can tell, but not one I’m very interested in.” A Turn 10 Introduction… [Forza Motorsport] More »
