You don't see the logic? It's fairly simple, they make more money.

That's because all anyone does is complain. Sometimes I feel like the only human being capable of saying he follows the concept of "Voting with one's wallet."

The amount that we actually get out of games these days is quite a bit, almost to the point that many people are having to ignore titles just because there isn't enough time. So $60+ really is not that big of a deal, I just don't like that a 60+ hour game is the same price as a 10 hour game.

Yes, we do say that. And yes, we do that.

But doing something and liking something are not mutually inclusive. Have I spent more money on DLC for certain games than I paid for the game itself? Yes. Several times. Have I ever enjoyed doing so? No. Not once.

But there are some games where I, and others, just can't get enough. Disgaea. Valkyria. Dark Souls. Dragon's Dogma. Tokyo Jungle. Etc., etc.

Personally, I'm more offended by the people who buy really, really bad DLC (like aircraft re-skins in Ace Combat Assault Horizon which can only be used with specific aircraft in specific--usually 3 or 4--missions) at really, really obscene prices, and then rate them so highly on the PSN.

That game I mentioned earlier? Ace Combat Assault Horizon (a awful game that shames the Ace Combat franchise) has approximately 60 pieces of DLC. Some of it is free-DLC, but the vast majority of it is paid-DLC.

At launch, the game had an MSRP of $60 USD, but many retailers (like Amazon) sold it for $45 USD. It's current market price (new) is approximately $30 USD.

It has exactly two-hundred and sixty-two dollars and fifty-two cents worth of DLC. That's $262.52.

This amounts to 437% its initial retail price and 875% its current market price.

And all of those items are rated 4 out of 5 stars or higher on the PSN.

-That- is far more unforgivable than any perceived hypocrisy on the part of those of us who criticize DLC with one hand and buying it with the other. By FAR.

Cool.

Better stop buying CoD and the 101 iterations of DLC that comes along with it, then.
