I really don't think the DLC is an issue. If you don't want it, you still got (at least in 99.9% of cases) a full game just like you got before, so just don't buy it.

But you also need to look at how an increase in prices would even affect development. One would assume it would allow for a larger budget for the game, but when you see higher budget games, do you really see a more complete and longer game? I don't think so. I think the larger budgets have a lot more of an impact on how precise certain parts of the storyline are (better graphics, better voice casting).


At this point larger budgets seem to indicate better resolution, more voice acting, and increased marketing.  The length and style of the games is more of a vision than budget thing.  Budget just helps that vision become reality.  If games cost more and the budget got larger, I think we would actually see longer periods between releases from studios spending that money to spend more time polishing the title not innovating.
