Even if it is on the disc, you can still take video etc, and if u get points or buy it, all you can do is edit them and share them online not a big deal. You buy a sports gmae to play a sports game, I have all video of unique things i’ve done. Who cares about editing.

Let’s ignore the fact that you are choosing to purchase a game that is updated minimally every year, and focus on a $5 *bonus* feature. If you can seriously complain about paying for a little piece of bonus material here and there, you don’t need to spend the money on a new version every year. This isn’t some game that you play for years like the Quake or Half-Life or Unreal series. Sports games aren’t designed around endless replayability. These sports games are money makers, and you are supporting this business model by purchasing them year after year.

Reelmaker was not listed on the features on the back of the box. It wasn’t mentioned when you purchased the game. This wasn’t a feature that got left out after it was promised to the consumer. This was (like the entire game) specifically made to be sold. The coders did their time to make the product, and they should get compensated. If you buy the game and don’t use Reelmaker, it’s not like you have lost something (besides your soul).

“Waaaaahhh it’s on the disc already! Gimme gimme!” Let’s start demanding that all shareware be free. I say we pirate Adobe Premiere, after all, it just uses all the video content we already own. For the righteous cause! Demand free extra content from people who earn their living by making entertaining games!

I’ll even throw in the obligatory “If you don’t like it, don’t buy it. You can just buy the competitor’s game.” Better yet, make your own damn games. Let’s see how up-in-arms you are when it’s time to get paid for YOUR work.
