No, just no. We buy a license to play the game, just like with movies and music. I don't see a difference between on disc and day one dlc.


Day one dlc and on disk dlcs are more or less the same. 

HOWEVER. The served purpose of DLCs at the first place are mini "expansions". What would you feel when YOU buy a game FULL priced at $60. Then parts of it are chopped off IN THE DISK itself only to be unlocked by paying $20 more.

Dont you feel ripped off? Cuz im sure as heck I would.

DLCs should be unfinished projects at the release of the full game. The yshould be add ons that should be added LATER. DLC development should not conincide with the full game development at the first place. As the company SACRIFICES and CONSUMES time to develop DLCs instead of the full game itself. In which they already KNOW that they are attempting to nickle and dime us.

 

This is pretty much how I feel. Otherwise game developers can just finish a game, lock off 20% of it, call in DLC and effectively charge you more than RRP for what amounts to nothing more than one full game.

There's nothing stopping them from doing this six months later as a an actual downloadable expansion but I at least appreciate the attempt to make it look like I'm not being ripped off.
