It must be a fun process for them, deciding what content they can lock up and hold for ransom. They must actually sit down and decide what content they need to grab the customer, and what they can withhold to charge more money for.
So, if the content is actually on the disc and you're just downloading a "key" to unlock it, it's not really downloadable content, is it? We need a new term, like "locked content," or "consumer manipulation content."
The funny part is that things would look more palatable if they just kept this stuff off the disc and let you download it later. Then they'd be able to pretend that it just wasn't ready in time.
"The worst part about these reviews is they are [subjective]--and their scores often depend on how drunk you got the media at a Street Fighter event." — Mona Hamilton, Capcom Senior VP of Marketing
