We old school gamers gotta get with the times....the average gamer is impatient, and has the disposable income to buy the dlc. I agree with the OP......we are all hypocrites on some level.

No we don't.  There are more than enough games released every year to satisfy everyone's tastes, and to allow people to be picky with what they intend to spend their money on.  The younger crowd will do what they do, as they have always done (as we did when we were the younger crowd).  Doesn't mean we need to jump on board a ship we completely disagree with.  Nor does it mean we have to adopt the mentality of the average gamer (I'd need a lobotomy for that).

Hey I don't like it either but if I like a game and it has enticing DLC content.....Im going to buy it. I don't want to miss out so my hands are tied. Complaining about it on a forum ain't going to change that.

I make the hard sacrifice, with any game from a 3rd party studio that has timed or complete exclusivity, massive amounts of useless DLC, and sells  map packs for exorbitant prices, I say no thanks.  Then again, I am very stubborn, and I despise much of what's occurred in this last ps3/360 generation, which makes it really easy for me to tell devs/publishers etc... to go eff themselves.  Sure, I may own some of the games that I describe above, but the vast, vast majority were either gifts, or borrowed.
