whoop dee do?

You don't find problems with the fact you are paying for content you have already bought?

I don't really care. 

We either get it on the disc and just save someone the server bandwitdth or download it later needlessly wasting bandwitdth and time, either way, it's pretty much the same result for us.  Does it really matter?

There's really no point in getting worked up over it.

Hell, if I buy a disc, I want everything on that disc. Maybe it's my '90s talking, but whatever is on that disc belongs to me the moement I receive it, every piece of it. Charging for unlocking data already on the disc is fundametally wrong. I honestly can't even give a damn about someone's bandwdith, if they want to be paid then they should have some expenses as well.

Actually, you couldn't be more wrong and are falling for a common misconception. 

You aren't paying for the content on the disc, you're paying for the license to use it.  That license does not cover the DLC, it only covers the game itself.  If you want to use that DLC, you have to buy the proper license.

I am gonna go off on a leg and assume you have something to do with the industry here. To extend that, you probably feel entitled to nickle and dime your consumers for anything they are gonna give. You are the exact opposite of a pirate, but about as bad as one, with all the horrible excuses.

At least I know you aren't working for companies like Valve and Blizzard. Hate to break it to you, but the companies that bend over for their consumers make the most money in this industry, and they even get pirated less too.

It's not about nickle and diming people, well, I guess it is, it's just about what you pay for.  As I said, you aren't paying for the content on the disc, it's as simple as that. 

Your argument is that you should get what you pay for and you are getting exactly what you're paying for.

So explain this to me. Why would you charge something that you had on the disc and developed even before your games goes gold? Do you feel entitled to it? Is it that feeling of entitlement that does it for you? I'd love to hear your excuses for this.

This is cheating!

Somebody should sue them!

At least they did not tell the customer the truth.

Dirty 2K lol.

Why am I not suprised?

Tho they should have atleast hid this fact by having it NOT on the disc, then releasing it as DLC later.

I know thats what 90% (if not more) of the companies are doing right now.

Can't say I can't support them though. I mean, Mass Effect 2 disc had the latest DLC characters voice on the disc and I'm probably still gonna buy that. If the game is good enough I'll be a sucker enough to buy it.



It's just that simple.

It's not even DLC.

I have never gotten DLC. Not even when it was free like in DA:O and ME2.
