Because you can't tell me either that this DLC won't affect the core story, that's why.

Nope, it is not game changer.  It is just one of the many characters you can play with.  It provides some sorts of backstory to the main story of the game, regrding what happened to the protheans, but it is not needed to enjoy the game.  Does he affect the ending? No.   Does he change the story of the game? No.  It just brings extra content, that does not affect the core of game at all, so it is not important.    It is a nice extra addition, but that is all.

They'd better because if not I'm not buying. How dare they destroy my dream of sniping as a 14-year old girl? XD

Exactly. So why start complaining, if you don't know a fraction of the DLC.

Now you are making progress and starting to make sense.

Oh you're gonna buy and you're gonna enjoy every second of playing as a 40ish(what's joels age?) year old man.  

Anyway yeah I do kinda hope they give us some play time with Ellie and they are just keeping it a secret to not spoil it.

That's what I said, he was not game changer. You missed my point completely, though.

You don't either. Why is it that there is already DLC for this game, again?

Looks like, I got a false possitive in my sarcasm detector.

How so?

OMG! People. This is nothing new in any industry. They have the basic version of songs, books, movies, event tickets, cars, meals, devices, anything. You pay for the amount of interest you have in the content.

Here is an example. If you only care about the main content, you buy just that version. If you care about the content plus the back history of the universe, you spend a little more. If the content grasps you and this becomes your fantasy world, you buy the comics, the tv shows, the merchandise ect.

Don't tell me your are pissed off because a meal is not supersized to start with. Don't tell me a car should just come with all the features. Don't try and make me believe you expect the basic TV/Phone/Net package to include everything. Everyone should get the point by now.

Devs can work on a single title for years and make quality content the whole time, but at some point the game has to release. At some point they have to move units to justify their work, and justify the continuation of work on that project.

Really this should not be the concern of the end user. What should be the big issue is that a game like Halo 4 cost the same as Madden, or that I have to pay for the multiplayer whether I want it or not. How can a team of 300 people making a game for 3 years put of a product that is only worth the same amount as if they put something out with 1 year worth the quality work?

Sorry to rant, but these not buying game, after game, after game, due to IMO illogical arguments is very depressing, and not in any way shape or form good for the industry, that quite frankley is not making the money some people seem to think. Greed implies piling on top, not trying to stay afloat.

Edit: Mods if this is to much let me know, I just had to put out my opinion. This is a general statement to all gamers.
