Here is the thing. It's not like developers finish the game, and then it's released the next day.

There is at LEAST a couple week period after printing the cds, boxing the games and shipping them out.



So why not day 1 DLC if it was completed between CD Printing and release day? They should just wait 6 months to make people happy?

Well that probably explains why so many games are released broken. The devs get busy with DLC instead of priortising patches for their broken games.

I know people will argue with this but almost every PS3 game ive had has required me to install a patch, so its not like the games dont need patching.

Its not logical to release paid content for an incomplete game before releasing the patches which fix the game to the standard it should have been at when it went gold.


Except generally developers don't know what needs patching until after people play it.

Once the game goes gold, as far as they know it's perfect.

I'm having a  really really really hard time imagining someone at EA staring at Battlefield 4 or someone at Bethesda staring at skyrim or fallout new vegas and thinking to themselves "Hmm you know what, this game is perfect, definitely no issues that make the game crash on you within the first 20 minutes or corrupt your save Data,  A+ game right here"
