Capcom is the king of showing us why DLC is a bad thing. Sadly Nintendo is even starting DLC. DLC is just an easy way for the developers to leave a little extra out of the game and then charge for it later. This has easily reassured me that I will never purchase DLC for any game. DLC is like free to play gaming to me (both a plague).

i agree with the hole post... but i think the last sentence is being over looked by gamers... DLC sometimes give the some gamers a edge in a competitive multiplayer game, also the FTP system will reward the rich kid with a edge over the poor one... taking out the democratic feel of playing on-line competitive multiplayer games. in games people should have the same weapons to fight a fair fight instead of buying their way up in the ranks.

STOP this nonsense... don't buy DLC and don't support who is trying to make it a standard in this industry.

I'd stump for a class-action lawsuit over this. Seriously. Who are they to deny us part of the product we have paid for?

You didn't pay for that additional content they have parked on your disk. It was never part of their offering. That said, I think you should be able to charge them parking fees. That's the route I would want to go with on disk DLC/unlocks for any class-action lawsuit.

Not that it should be unlocked, but that they should pay us for as long as it remains parked.

I still have no idea why people are such up in arms about this. I tried asking this somewhere else and I mostly got insults...hooray internet.

Anyways, completely ignoring the whole license thing and pretending you absolutely owned everything on disc...it's still planned DLC. You might own what's on that disc, but it's still up to Capcom when to enable it. It doesn't matter if that DLC was finished three months prior to the game shipping or three months after, it's going to be actually turned on once they're good and ready for it to be turned on.

It really doesn't matter what's on the disc, the fact remains it's DLC. Like planned DLC or not (that's another argument), that's what it is. I just cannot see why people are so up in arms about this.

It's not shady because you've known for months at least that they're going to release DLC.

The licensing argument has little legal standing. You own the contents of the disc for personal use, you don't buy a license to use the contents of the disc under certain conditions, you own them.

That's why I made the post assuming the license argument was completely out the door.  

It really doesn't matter whether you own the content on the disc or not, Capcom is the one that gets to decide how that content gets to be used.  They could ship RE7 on that disc if it was finished and they felt like it, but that doesn't mean they have to unlock it for use right away.

I suppose the legal protection would only extend to forbidding Capcom from suing people who unlocked it by modding.
