Scenario C: EA give content for free for everyone like they did with Burnout Paradise.

Reaction C: Everyone thanks them, are super appreciative and say this is how other publishers should be.

 

Wut? So you're against DLC? Why don't we take that logic to expansion packs? Or maybe to entire games?

I'm not denying that reaction C will happen, I mean, that's why free stuff is great. But EA didn't just choose scenario B for no reason, it was a calculated incentive to get people to buy new copies. It benefits both the consumers who did find the value worth it, EA, and it does no harm to those who don't want to shell out either $15 for the DLC or $60 for a brand new game+free DLC.

Why did you remove and ignore the giant paragraph below those two lines in Onyxmeth's post?
