Do We Need DLC?

Ryan from Awesome Games writes: 'With pretty much every release on the market offering some sort of additional content at a price, DLC is rapidly becoming one of the most profitable areas of the gaming industry. The question is, though, do we really need it? Is it really adding to our gaming experience if we buy it? And what if we don’t choose to spend our hard earned PayPal balances on it? Are we then unfairly missing out on an aspect of our favourite titles that could, if we’re honest, have been included in the main game?'

lol the horse armor pic from oblivion...the first of an endless stream use useless DLC that people wasted their money on

Oblivion's horse armour will go down in history as one of the worst pieces of DLC to ever be released. ;-)

TheCommentator4131d ago

95% of dlc is overpriced and is sometimes even found on the disc, which isn't even "downloadable". For the most part it's a racket. My hat's off to the Witcher devs for offering so mch for free.

AwesomegamesUK4130d ago

Yeah, CD Projekt Red are setting a good example for other devs to follow!

I say unlocks and New Game+ for single player and fighting games while expansions for multiplayer heavy titles.

My friend and I laughed the other day as we read issues of Tips and Tricks reminiscing of how times changed.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing21d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit21d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing21d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9221d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
