You go into a restaurant. You get a hamburger for $3.00. It's a good and tasty hamburger. A year later, the restaurant comes out with a hamburger and fries combo for $3.00. Do you go into the restaurant with your year-old receipt demanding free fries?
It makes no sense to do that, but that's exactly what gamers do with games and additional content. This sense of entitlement is almost unheard of in any other market, but it's so common in gaming and makes no sense when put into perspective.
It gets worse when you realize that game content doesn't just magically appear. It has to be created and the people that create it have to be paid to do so. Despite these costs, gamers will continually turn around only to say "give it to me for free." You can say "sounds fair to me" but how is that in any way fair to the developer? The answer is that it's not.
