Here is the thing. It's not like developers finish the game, and then it's released the next day.

There is at LEAST a couple week period after printing the cds, boxing the games and shipping them out.



So why not day 1 DLC if it was completed between CD Printing and release day? They should just wait 6 months to make people happy?

Basically what I said earlier in this thread. If the dev team can get more content ready between the time the game goes gold and when it's shipped, that's cool.

yeah I can agree to an extent, it's good n' all when it's minor content like costumes/cars/skins and other minor pre-order incentives

what I hate was something like ME3 and it's prothean DLC, that literally could've been add to the game yet they left ot out and charged for it...that was fuckin low and greedy. also I do hate the exclusive dlc that has run rampant now with Gamestop/Amazon/Best Buy(who was that user with and perfect and funny example of it in his sig)

Well that probably explains why so many games are released broken. The devs get busy with DLC instead of priortising patches for their broken games.

I know people will argue with this but almost every PS3 game ive had has required me to install a patch, so its not like the games dont need patching.

Its not logical to release paid content for an incomplete game before releasing the patches which fix the game to the standard it should have been at when it went gold.

Except generally developers don't know what needs patching until after people play it.

Once the game goes gold, as far as they know it's perfect.

I really hate that McDonalds charges extra money for a large fry than a regular fry. I mean, the fries are already made, why can't they just put them in the regular box without charging me for them?

Greedy bastards.

With your permission I'm going to steal this analogy for future projects.

Completely agree.
