It's sad that we live in a time where publishers are put on a pedestal for giving away three free maps, and then turning around and charging you for gameplay options.

If anything, it should be the other way around. 

LOL you don't have to buy something they made after the game came out.  You know I generally don't agree with the people that say gamers complain too much these days, but sure as hell see where their point of view comes from.  Response like this.

You don't but I can't help but to feel shafted that I have to buy incomplete games with Day 1 Season Passes, knowing that if I want the full experience I will have to pay more money down the road. I don't have to buy the DLC if I don't want to, but then I have a gimped game that is incomplete. It's like buying a movie, and the company selling it to you takes out some important scenes, and tells you to buy them seperately. 

Yes, I will complain about it, because that's how change happens. If the community isn't vocal and just lies down and pretends that everything is perfectly fine, companies wil feel no need to change their practices. 

How is shadowfall gimped or incomplete?

I'm a fan of no expansions or DLC (other than vanity items) in games, like it used to be before last gen and how it still is for the most part with Nintendo games.

Developers should concentrate into getting all the content in a game beforehand, and then work on new, better games after, not some shitty map that they'll sell you for $5 a pop (and when they are gracious enough to give them for free, people gush for them, even if they make up for it by selling core gameplay elements instead).

Also, isn't a season pass essentially Day 1 DLC? A company is basically telling you that they are already developing content that you will have to pay for, and they want you to pay for the (non-existing at that point) content is davance. It's almost worse, tbh. 

Just because I don't roll over and quietly ignore the fact that companies are using the same terrible strategies that crappy free-to-play mobile games do dosen't mean that I'm "a fan of a Company its devs can charge for whatever they want".

I'm a fan of companies that charge the standard $60 for a fulfilling game, and then for extra content sell vanity items. Companies like Nintendo, Valve, etc. Sony makes tons of amazing games that don't use the crappy expansion format, and I love those too. 

No i wasnt calling you one of the fans that will take whatever a company gives them, i was originaly agreeing with your post and saying that people who are ok with this a fans of said company but not you but i can see how you could mistake what i said.

But anyway i agree with everything you say except for the expension packs thing, As a PC gamer Expension Packs from before 360 and PS3 launched where pretty much full games for like €20-30 Not just a few maps etc but pretty much a whole new games worth of content and could change the whole game experance thats the type of expension packs i dont mind, but once the 360 and PS3 launched DLC became the new norm and proper expension packs went the way of the dodo...

They held out a co-op mode, for one. Also there are new perks and modes only avaiable for those who pay for the extra content. The base game sounds pretty incomplete to me.

The Co-Op mode was not started until after the game released, and the weapons were not added until the community asked for them.  Go look it up.  I was actually the one who created the player voice request for more weapons.  Some people really need check their facts before they open their mouth.
