I am just fine with free DLC.  Bring it on.  But, I have never paid for any DLC.  I will continue to not pay for any for the foreseeable future.

I am one of the biggest haters of charging for DLC there is.  Most of the times everything DLC has could have been included in the original game.  DLC is just a way for developers/publishers to earn more money by leaving things out of games.  I know some of you out there enjoy DLC but to me it is a scam (especially when companies start talking about DLC before the actual game is even released).  By paying for DLC you are supporting the idea that video game companies can just release unfinished versions of their game.  While some DLC can be justified by content and price, most offer little value for their price.

Nintendo has been the saving grace of the video game industry in the recent generation.  At least I know I can buy a Nintendo game and not worry about having this character or that character left out just to be included in a DLC later.  How would you like to buy Mario Kart and then only have 10 characters available.  Instead of unlocking new characters by actually playing the game you have to buy each character for 3 dollars each.  This is what the game industry has turned into in my eyes.  Screw DLC and the "elite" paid services for CoD.

Nintendo should focus on including level editors in their games.  They included one for Brawl (while it might not have been a game changer it was a nice feature).  I am sure a few people made Brawl stages just as good or better than ones provided by Nintendo.  A level editor for NSMB or Kart would be amazing.  Nintendo should let the users create new content for their games for free.  Level editors were pretty much the first DLC and they were free.

DLC's are awesome and I'm gladly supporting it.

And I love the myth that developers took out so much content to sell it later as DLC. You're just getting it all wrong with your conspiracy theories. In reality you would get the full Mario Kart roster plus 10 extra characters (DLC).

And even if Capcom already has extra outfits on the disc that need to be payed for. What gives you the idea that Capcom would have included them on the disc if there was no possibility for DLCs (also known as the previous generations) ? They would have never created them in the first place.

Yea, that was kind of my point in the thread too.  To point out that what developers used to offer with expansions doesn't really match what DLC offers for price/value.  Expansions usually added way more than what most DLC adds (more value for the money).  Sure there are DLC that add entire new chapters but they don't usually offer new weapons, new characters, etc.  They split everything up to make more money.  They have the new chapter as one DLC, the characters as another DLC, etc....  Expansions offered more bang for the buck.

How would you like if Blizzard offered a DLC for new characters (each character it's own DLC to maximize profit)  in Diablo 3.  Another DLC for a new chapter.  Another DLC for more weapons.  etc...  Instead of all being in one expansion for 30-40 dollars.  They split it up so then if you wanted it all it would probably cost you 50-60.
