I'm with this dude. I know we aren't forced to buy DLC but what bothers me is when corporate a-holes start locking content that's already on the disc so they can sell it to me later. It just seems so wrong...
DLC wasn't supposed to be a way to change an average game's price from $60 to $90+ or maybe it was... but anywho, we were supposed to receive meaningful expansions and content updates for a small fee. What we really got are marketing people hanging out inside our living rooms throwing offers in our face every two seconds. It has turned into a horrible cash grab.
Capcom Marketing Guy: Hey can I interes-
Me: No, I don't want another costume pack for Ryu
Random RPG Marketing Guy: Vanquish your foes with this new Horse armor DLC pack!
Me: Nah, I'm good.
Epic Marketing Guy: Hey bro! Want a new map (that's really just an old map)?!
Me: No thanks.
All the Marketing Guys: How about our season pass so you can enjoy all this sweet stuff at a 50% savings?
Me: Go f&!# yourselves.
Hey parents don't waste money on DLC, they are preying on your kid's trusting nature. I'm surprised there hasn't been a 60 Minutes exposé on this. "...and next up, how videogame companies are using your kids, to get to your wallet..."
