Capcom Sells Cheat Codes as DLC

Far from being a parody, Capcom has decided to put on sale cheat codes for Dead Rising 2: Off The Record.

by Ian Miles Cheong on 9th Nov, 2011

Game developer Capcom has just sunk to a new low with its announcement of plans to release cheat codes for Dead Rising 2: Off The Record... for a price. You read that right: Capcom intends to sell cheats as a paid DLC.

Titled the GameBreaker DLC, the cheat code pack contains over a dozen cheats, including staples like God Mode and Infinite Durability, as well as goofier cheats that modify how the game looks, like Flat Frank, and Dumber Zombies.

These cheats would be otherwise unlockable for absolutely free in just about another game, but what can you expect from the company that releases the same Street Fighter game several times a year with new characters in it, and charges even more for outfits already on the disc?

If this is the future of DLCs, I don't want to live in it.

The only time that I've ever liked cheats is when they are something that you unlock as a reward.

@ OP Yeah, this is pretty appalling.

That... is ridiculous.

...And I thought going "too far" was already achieved with this whole DLC rubbish.
Surely, the world must see this for what it is?

This makes the "Horse Armor" incident seem like a non event. This sounds like an extremely late April Fools joke.

Love the product, not the company. They love your money, not you.

Wait. Am I missing something? I hate Capcom and I won't buy this game but they aren't the first to do this. There's already a ton of games that sell cheats. I remember one game (I think it was Godfather) that let you buy virtual money with real money. Level ups, weapons, money, etc. It's been done long before now.

I was more pissed when I found out that it was impossible to 1000 Achievement points in Magna Carta 2 without buying the DLC that made you watch some bullshit comedy sketches.
