“But, but, but...publishers have to make money”....”But, but, but...difficulty settings are optional”...”But, but, but...video games are a business, not a charity”..."But, but, but...you're not entitled to anything as a paying consumer!" so says all the pandering pro-corporate white knights. Well, at least gamers have become fed up enough to make some noise about the recent bull crap surrounding the extra costs required to play Ranger Mode in Metro: Last Light.

Literally, the game's content has been stripped and blockaded off, costing gamers additional money to access the "Hard" difficulty setting, also known as Ranger Mode, something that was a standard feature in the original Metro 2033 after you beat the game the first time through. As noted in an article by PC Gamer [via Shack news], Koch Media's global brand manager Huw Beynon ran to the defense of Deep Silver and their decision to have the game mode as pre-order DLC, enforcing anyone who wants to play on a harder setting to shell out $5 in addition to the $60 retail purchase, saying...

$5 isn't that bad, but charging for a difficulty lvl now that's fucking retarded lol

Should you be paying to access a “richer” game mode?

Pre-Odering is hardcore!

The article is somewhat misleading. Ranger mode is not "Hard" difficulty, it's just another way of playing the game. Ranger has its own difficulty settings.

Still, it's not something people should have to pay for. I'm not buying this game for that exact reason.

Good observation, I fixed it to reflect that it's an extra-difficult mode, and not the "Hard" setting.
