| overman1 said: now that you mentioned that....Devs can make money from ingame advertisements and stuff. That makes a lot of sense but you give people the oppotunity and they could start calling the Developers corporatists and sellouts. With the DLCs I dont know, people always complain about that and do DLCs really sell that well? You still have people accussing these developers of cutting content from the original game to sell as DLCs. Remember back in the day when we had unlockable items and content like if you finish the game you get two extra chapters or storylines as in Resident Evil 4. That was awesome. If that came as a DLC today...gamers are so used to those types of extra stuff... |
The thing is, back then, everything unlockable and such had to be in the game when it shipped, you couldn't download addons or patches, you were stuck with what shipped and that was that, so that content was planned and executed from the begining.
Now they finish games, and it's cheaper to earn additional money by producing DLC content for the existing game than it is to build a new one, problem is, depending on the timing, people see it as a cash grab and say it should have been there on the disk and not paid.
In a way theyre right but at the same time, theyre paying less for the game than they used to, it kinda pans out.
Also for the PC gamers, be thankful you can buy extra storage for cheap, back in the day your options were limited to things like this.
3.5K for 10 megabyte.
