Other companies do this.  I thought the big deal was that they had the content on the disk.  Having content on the disk is an entirely new level of horse armor.

That was the big deal. I think they were already widely perceived as some of the worst ripoff artists before that, though. That just cemented their reputation as scumbags par excellence.

On the flip side it seems like Bethesda took all that horse armor criticism to heart. They are far and away one of the best when it comes to making meaningful DLC, IMO.

Well, if we hold all this thinking is valid, looks like Capcom will seek to raise it to even HIGHER levels and be doomed in the process (and I see why reviewtechusa is saying they are doomed:

While the images above are filled with business projects and comparisons, the strategy contained therein is pretty clear: “improve profit by promoting the digital strategy (DLC) in the Consumer business.”

Now, a focus on DLC would be all well and good if the publisher was not Capcom. Over the past year or so, Capcom has been found guilty of locking on-disc content out of the game in order to charge for it later as DLC.
