After Gears fans voiced their disgust with the pricing model, due basically to having to pay for the same maps they had already paid for a second time. But to the pleasure of the price savvy Gears 2 player, Epic has announced that they are dropping a retail release of All Fronts and instead pushing it to Xbox Live Marketplace, as well as lowering Dark Corners price to 1200 MSP ($15). Epic Senior Producer, Rod Fergusson, explained that while the pricing structure was “a good deal at the old price”, Epic had got the memo and “based upon community feedback this just felt like the right thing to do.” It’s nice to see a company giving gamers a break in such a crappy economy, understanding that even $5 makes a huge difference to the loud, yet faithful, online gamer.
