| RolStoppable said: Yes, that's why your point is rubbish. You want to point out hypocrisy, but when the underlying conditions are drastically different (paid vs. free), then there is no hypocrisy. Your example of BMW DLC for MK8 is the same thing, because it's once again a matter of paid vs. free. You should know that the main point of criticism for certain DLC practices has always been "this should be free", so logically these same people would have no reason to complain about something that is indeed free. |
Remember, it's free now. If they relase a paid one, all your points become invalid. The problem with on-disc content is that gamers feel like they own what comes with the base disc. Determining when you will be able to play this content that you already have is also a polemic situation.
But as I said about paid on-disc content, just because something is on the disc it doesn't means that's yours. If it's ready when the game goes gold, just put it in the damn disc so nobody has to download it. It's a matter of gamers not understanding how a developinf project works and how thigs work.
"It should be free because it's already on the disc" and "I should be able to play it now because it's already on the disc" are very similar situations and people are alredy complaining. My point is that the ammount of arguments trying to defend this situation coming from people that criticized the precious one is disturbing. That's my critic.
About the on-disc content, paid or free, I'm not against it. If it can be on the disc, just put it there. Capcom was criticized for Stree Fighter X Tekken but in the end what they did was to be sure that everybody could play online against each other without needing patches for all characters.
