From Dust is due this week on Xbox Live Arcade for Xbox 360, but the PC release date is now August 17th. When enquiring about Call of Juarez' similar delay, Rock Paper Shotgun have this response from Ubi:
“Our teams work hard to ensure that all versions of our games achieve a level of polish and quality that our customers will appreciate. The development team needed a little more time to focus on the PC version [of Call of Juarez], so we adjusted the date accordingly.”While it's an understandable situation, it doesn't explain why the PC version is the one so often singled out.
While you're waiting for the game to come out. Check out this recent gameplay trailer.

Love the concept ... this is why I enjoyed the Black and White games!
I am still shocked however to see that in this day and age they do not include a random map generator / sandbox mode on something this good.
Surely they must have known from day dot, to make this truely remarkable, INCLUDE SANDBOX!!!!
That is biggest reason why the Black and White series didn't dominate.

I love the potential this game has got, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's not too long a game on release, I can imagine them selling DLC later, the price just says that to me from a publisher like this.
I wonder if it's got the DRM that's made me skip many of the Ubi titles so far ):

I have it on steam, but can't play yet. :/
Mine seems somehow borked though, the game has no image, the 'go to store page' link doesn't work, and the store page doesn't say that I already own it.

Game is pretty nice, but has no villager or building elements unfortunately, so feels as though it has no weight to the saving/protecting of them (they just re-spawn). Still very fun, and has some impressive mechanics.

I'm sure theres some kind of interesting psychological study to be done there!

The controls are a bit lame, but imo are far better if you turn off mouse scrolling.

Yeah, but often you fork out nearly 100 dollars for a game you can't know will be good, so 10-15 dollars isn't really a big deal in terms of total investment.
What people are annoyed at is that a company produces both the game AND DLC before release, they earn enough money from the game by itself to easily have covered the game and DLC, then they release DLC purely for grabbing money.
There was no need, they're already well and truely profitable enough to have included that DLC in the game, it should have been part of the game. It was budgeted to be in the game, and was paid for by the people who bought the original. So why the extra cost?

In the case of crappy COD mappacks, yes. Dont forget that COD mappacks used to be free so in that case i dont see how the devs charging for the DLC is anything but money grabbing. In the case of quality Fallout expansions, no.
