So with the release of skin packs many are excited and others can't afford it or just don't care. I am disappointed however, I think it is bull **** that it actually cost money to have a different skin. I use the pc for the most part and the thing I like the most about minecraft are skins and mods.I don't use many texture packs because default is awesome but I do use the faithful hd texture pack :P. Anyways it's stupid that I have to pay 160 ms points (but if I don't have any msp I have to buy atleast $5 worth of it because you can't buy 160msp alone as far as I know) I don't know if microsoft made it cost money for the skin packs but it got me thinking, if mojang plans on bringing out mods and texture packs,will they cost money? If it takes 160msp to have some different skins I honestly think that mods and texture packs are going to be way more.... now why couldn't xbox players just do what pc players do and connected their gamertag with a minecraft account and change their skins like the pc gamers do? It's too late now anyways because if they just did what I suggested then skin packs would have no use and the people who bought the skin packs would just have wasted money. I bought the first skin pack and to be honest I only used like 3 skins. My idea for mods and texture packs would be like they make a xbox app where people can download mods texture packs maps and maybe even skins, and people could upload this stuff on the internet and after its uploaded people could download it off the app. I feel really ripped off with this buying skin packs thing. And one more thing I think mojang should take a break on putting in new content for the pc and just do bug fix updates, focus more on xbox and pocket edition,too much is coming out on the pc.
The reason it costs money is because 4J makes them. It costs them money to put out free updates. Expect to have to pay for texture packs and "mods"(DLC).
Microsoft charges companies for the content on the marketplace. 4J would probably give the skin packs and other stuff to us free, but it's Microsofts rules.
Bottom line:
Patches cost 4J money, and MS charges for every one, which is why they don't put one out weekly and they try to combine updates as much as they can. We're lucky they're giving us patches for free.
DLC will never be free.
Xbox runs under different rules than the PC- you can't compare them.
(What does mojang have to do with anything xbox anyway?)
