How do you all feel about the state of DLC (Downloadable Content)? In the old days (just 10 years ago), you bought a console game and that’s what you got. Whatever was in the box is what you got, and nothing would change that or add to it. PC gamers on the other hand could have a nearly limitless supply of new content thanks to the community itself supplying user made levels, mods, models and more, which all brought years of continued play and purchase of some titles even years after the initial release.
With the rise of console connectivity, they wanted to bring this kind of longevity to the games by expanding the worlds with new content, but since this wasn’t just some guy or gal working away in their room at night and on weekends, there was a price on the content. The problem is, as I see it, that the DLC are now a part of the plan when a game is designed and I’m not sure we’re all getting value from our money, and I don’t mean on the DLC, I mean on the original game because they’ve already got planned content releases for more money, and to keep the games as “hot” and relevant on store shelves and on digital distribution lists. Are we getting good value? Let'er rip!
I think it is. They put less in the original game and sell the missing content back to you for extra money. What a rippoff.
