Is this a bad sign for GTAIV DLC?

I doubt most people care about the DLC.

The game was crap to many a GTA fan, they won't buy it.

People who sold thier copies certainly aren't going to either.

Casuals aren't big on that sort of thing.

Then there are the arcade owners who won't be able to buy it.

Then even out of the people who do like the game, they might not like it enough to bother with extra stuff if they need pay for.


I mean...how many does that leave?


I don't think the DLC will do anything to sales of GTA IV, and won't sell much itself. 5% of GTA owners as a guess.

 

It'll actually be sold as an expansion, since it'll have retail presence. If they are smart, they'll do like Bethesda did with the Oblivion Expansion and sell a box with both the GTA4 disc and the expansion DLC code - they'll probably call it "GTA4 Game of the Year Edition", "GTA 4 Anniversary Editition" or some other marketable term. On top of selling boxes with just the download code, OFC.

The Forza series is doing that, they are now selling a Gold or whatever edition with the original game + codes for all the content they've released since the game launched.
