I'm a fan of no expansions or DLC (other than vanity items) in games, like it used to be before last gen and how it still is for the most part with Nintendo games.

Developers should concentrate into getting all the content in a game beforehand, and then work on new, better games after, not some shitty map that they'll sell you for $5 a pop (and when they are gracious enough to give them for free, people gush for them, even if they make up for it by selling core gameplay elements instead).

Also, isn't a season pass essentially Day 1 DLC? A company is basically telling you that they are already developing content that you will have to pay for, and they want you to pay for the (non-existing at that point) content is davance. It's almost worse, tbh. 

Just because I don't roll over and quietly ignore the fact that companies are using the same terrible strategies that crappy free-to-play mobile games do dosen't mean that I'm "a fan of a Company its devs can charge for whatever they want".

I'm a fan of companies that charge the standard $60 for a fulfilling game, and then for extra content sell vanity items. Companies like Nintendo, Valve, etc. Sony makes tons of amazing games that don't use the crappy expansion format, and I love those too. 

No i wasnt calling you one of the fans that will take whatever a company gives them, i was originaly agreeing with your post and saying that people who are ok with this a fans of said company but not you but i can see how you could mistake what i said.

But anyway i agree with everything you say except for the expension packs thing, As a PC gamer Expension Packs from before 360 and PS3 launched where pretty much full games for like €20-30 Not just a few maps etc but pretty much a whole new games worth of content and could change the whole game experance thats the type of expension packs i dont mind, but once the 360 and PS3 launched DLC became the new norm and proper expension packs went the way of the dodo...

Oh, gotcha, sorry for the mistake.

I agree with expansion packs for some games (like World of Warcraft, Starcraft, etc) where the developers put a ton of work into the game because the game is going to last a long time in terms of lifespan.

I just don't support it for yearly franchises. 

I know what you mean man. But for cases like WoW they charge you $15 a month. So isnt that like the same thing? 

Btw great profile pic and gifs.
