How is what Sony is doing bad for us customers ?

And come on, all the cost the developers incur is 16 cents per Gig of DLC they release... As for free content, my understanding is that it will only be charged the first 60 day and then it will be free for publishers so they won't remove it...

 

Lets say the average DLC is 10$ and 500 MG, that's 8 cents extra cost for the publishers, a whole frigging 0.8% increase in cost.........................

It's bad for customers because you don't have a choice in the matter. It's up to the publisher to choose how to cope with the cost increase, and as I explained in the other thread, it is most likely going to be cutting development costs, or in the case of paid content, increasing the price.
