Ultimately, I don't have a huge problem with it. All DLC is optional. If I feel like I get ripped off, nobody's forcing me at gunpoint to buy it.
Also, I don't necessarily agree that all day 1 DLC should have been included on disc. There's a lot of time between the game being "finished" and being released. If the developer felt that this time could be spent working on extra content, I see no reason why it shouldn't be paid for.
That said, I miss the days of expansions. You only get them for MMOs these days, it seems. |
That sort of mentality is why it keeps happening. If no one says anything about it then it's perfectly fine by them and they'll continue chopping off content from the main game and selling to you over again.

The mentality has absolutely nothing to do with it. The fact is, people buy it. The publishers/developers see the sales and determine that the practice is profitable. If people didn't buy it, it would go away. For the record, I've never purchased Day 1 DLC in my life (excluding GOTY editions that came bundled with it) so I am in no way contributing to the "problem."

This is a great point. I would love to see the numbers to day 1 DLC profits.
