"Most DLC was never intended to be part of the original game"

That is what we are told, but many are beginning to suspect that we are being charged for content that is already on the disc (or already developed), simply as a way to squeeze even more money out of the consumer (as if $60 isn't enough).

I love DLC when (and only when) it is actual content that has been developed after the initial game was released.

The video game industry takes in an obscene amount of money each year, so I think that most gamers react very negatively if it even appears that we are trying to be milked for even more of our hard-earned cash.

@Bubbles_Kitty_Cat that is why it says most. I can think of two very aggravating instances where this wasn't the case. Gears of War 2: Combustion Map Pack and Resident Evil 5's multiplayer DLC.

well my dear sir, I believe thy problem involves the lack of genres there's 30 shooters for every non-shooter game this days, I remember when games where all about trying something different, ohhhh! The nostalgia is eating me. at least sony is trying to recover thy golden times. sigh.

You sir are a genius.

When we tell people to think what they are supporting before buy, we are somehow whining...

For example, DLC. Almost all big releases this year had early talk about DLC, which maybe will be worked after release maybe will be locked on disc, but will make us feel milked anyway, like, if they already know they will add content, why sell me an incomplete game... That's reflection of 2007, while 360 had few DLC in 2006 as the console war officially started everyone was asking for DLC, it was supposed to be some advantage. Turned out it wasn't necessarily one, we got 'horse armor like DLC', 'locked-in-disc first day DLC', 'taunted as full game DLC' and 'exclusive DLC war'.

Next year we'll see many big releases with a MSRP of 65~70 bucks, specially sequels with little to no improvement.

But we will keep buying those 65-70 dollar sequels anyway, and thats what he is getting at in the article.

but there is a truth to what is being said. I blame gamers mostly... that includes myself.

no company will make something to sell to a customer base that does not demand it. we may not see it on these internet forums, but the big wigs look at sales numbers, charts, retail figures and those numbers don't lie. they simply feed those numbers..

we keep buying it, they keep giving us more - and they will look for the easiest, fastest, cheapest way of giving it to us ( same as any business ).

How the hell did I forget that one...*smacks head*. I hate fanboyism with a passion.

Graphics and sells

Haven’t watched it . Is it not good ?
