DLC is fine. The problem is how it's implemented today and how it is going to be even worse. If we just look at Warner's patent, it's disgusting but that is just the start. And people actually try to defend that shit.

Most DLC could just be a mod if the developers provided modding tools for their titles.

I miss "expansion packs". - Where developers actually made an effort... Gave us value for our dollar... And I would purchase them without thinking.

Second hand has the exact same effect as piracy. The only difference is that one of them is socially excepted.

The Second Hand market is required to keep retailers like EB Games/Game Stop afloat, that is where they derive a large portion of their profits from... And without them, there goes a chunk of your physical sales.

I always buy second-hand, unless it's a title that I *must* own on launch. I.E. All of Blizzards and Biowares crap.

Besides, publishers/developers can't really whinge about the impacts of the second hand market, the video game market is worth 10's of billions, still growing and Publishers/Developers are constantly increasing their profits.

You can say the same thing about piracy.
