| Burning Typhoon said: Who cares if content is locked on the disc. It's still a digital portion of the game that was intended for an additional purpose. You mean to tell me that you'd be okay with the exact same content as long as it isn't on the disc? Shouldn't you be championing the idea that a company should hold off development of DLC for a game until after it has been released? (Not you specifically. Yes, I read your post) Rather that DLC is locked on disc or not, it doesn't matter. You wouldn't have access to it either way because you weren't intended to. I collect too. It's up to the individual. If you read my initial post, you'd see I did not leave out collectors. I said most people would not buy it for those reasons, not that no one would. I don't even care if it's the same model of one I already own, sometimes. I have 2 of the same model dreamcastS which don't have the disc play-back restrictions, and I have 2 genesis model 2's, and a model 1. As long as they do what I want them to do, it's fine. Anyway, I agree. But all that stuff you said about DLC can be summed to one thing. Using development time for development of DLC and taking away resources from actual game development. I don't care if it's a totally separate team doing the DLC, it's still wrong. Being it on disc or not doesn't matter. You're going to pay the intended price to get the content regardless. And, "Because they will buy it," is the problem with everything. It doesn't matter how unhealthy, or dangerous it is. If people buy it, it will be sold. Hence why most don't know what they're eating. They only care that it's "the best thing I ever tasted before in my life." But, that's a different subject. |
Well, I'm glad we agree then because I'm not saying that on disc dlc is a bad thing or not. I'm saying that business wise, it is a logical thing to do because it works. Simple as that. I'm comparing releasing an "unfinished game with locked extras" to an "unfinished console with locked extras". That's it. Perhaps you inferred a slander but there was none there, I promise.
