Battlefield 3 was released going on for three years ago and since then I've managed almost 300 hours (quite modest by some standards, I bet angry man on the video has considerably more) between it and 4. Total cost including premium probably something like £120, which is an awful long way from the $400 he claims. At £3-4/month it's a hell of a lot better value than any(?) subscription based game.
He's far to angry, and his figures may be wrong, but his underlying point still stands I believe. I logged up way more time playing BF2 mods (PoE, PR & FH2) than I ever did playing the game itself. I think modding keeps a game alive, it gives the developers fresh ideas and things they wouldn't have thought of themselves to incorporate into sequels. Locking them out stunts growth.
