It's not about nickle and diming people, well, I guess it is, it's just about what you pay for.  As I said, you aren't paying for the content on the disc, it's as simple as that. 

Your argument is that you should get what you pay for and you are getting exactly what you're paying for.

So explain this to me. Why would you charge something that you had on the disc and developed even before your games goes gold? Do you feel entitled to it? Is it that feeling of entitlement that does it for you? I'd love to hear your excuses for this.

Would you feel better if you had to download it day one?

Why would that make a difference to you?

No I was actually asking why you want to get paid for content that realeased well before the release date, when said content could easily have been included in the original price. I will ask again, is it a feeling of entitlement?

It's DLC, as simple as that.  It doesn't really matter when they finished it, it's something that was likely always DLC.

Also, you seem to think that just because you have to download DLC day one that means they were working on it between when the game went gold to the time it was released which isn't really true for all things. 

If it's something huge like Borderlands or Fallout DLC, then yeah, that probably wasn't finished.  If it's something like a few extra maps or whatever Bioshock 2 has, it was likely finished befor the game was released to manufacturer even if you had to download it day one.

It's simply how the publisher decides to release the stuff.  If they want to be like Valve and continually release free DLC that's their choice.  Valve has craploads of money coming in from Steam so they can afford to do that.  With Bioshock 2, they don't have that so they need to get their money somewhere.  If it's nickel and diming their customers, that's their choice just like it's your choice whether to buy the DLC or not.
