Capcom are idiots. On-disc dlc means they cut out content just so they can charge extra for it. If they want to charge for things on the disc then they should keep the game free to play MMO style. |
No it doesn't.
I agree with Capcom, I don't agree with on disc dlc because it leaves a sour taste - in principle. In reality though, a publisher gives a budget to it's developers to produce a game. So the DLC included would mean that the budget would be higher for production of said game. Take Mass Effect 2 and 3 after EA got it's grubby mits on it. The DLC adds to the game quite substatially, by no means could it be called "good value". But it certainly would cost a fair amount more to make. That could easily be on the disc and the same point stand.
I'm not aiming it at you specifically, I'm just basically saying that "gamers" are generally retards when it comes to business and don't seem to grasp that the DLC wouldn't even be on the disc at all if it weren't going to be sold seperately. Making games is a business, it is not some kind of artistic expression purely for their benefit.
I pirate all my games so it annoys me more than most, but I'll say one thing, I piped up the cash for all the ME2 and 3 DLC, it's the first gaming purchase I've made in years because they are good games and deserve the money and I was hooked in. Not that it actually means anything...Sad thing is that I didn't even get to use the "From Ashes" DLC in Mass Effect 3 because it was a corrupted download and only noticed at the end of the game after started wandering where the hell this prothean dude was....Maybe that's gentle jesus punishing my bad pirating ways.
