It's certainly preferable to your typical microtransactions, where business model and game design become one in the same, or raising the cost of entry. There's relatively little downside to giving people the option of paying for more of a game they already liked. My only complaint is when important things are clearly ripped out of a game to be sold separately, like Javik and the Leviathans in Mass Effect 3. If every DLC were just fun extra stuff like Saints Row's, I'd have no complaints at all.
