To be fair, in this particular situation, no more than 6 days had passed until he said one thing, and then flipped it to something else. Once again, at least he clarified this, but some people have a right to be a little miffed if they bought the game in the past few days, and that has nothing to do with being hardcore or casual.
He is just elaborating on why it was probably stupid to say 'oh yeah the game will get major free updates till the end of time'. I mean all im gathering from his current statement is there are def gonna be a bunch of free updates for the foreseeable future, but if like 2 years from now they run into financial trouble it wouldnt make sense to not charge for a mjor expansion that they couldnt afford otherwise. Once again gamers just going batshit on every word said.
