I have never understood this. Do you complain when you go to buy a car, and the heated mirrors are an extra charge? Why didn't they just include them with the car for no extra charge, right?

Granted we are talking about a non-physical product here, but the same concept applies. Each bit of content developed costs more money. The only question is whether you feel the content is worth the price. Is the game worth $60 without this content or not? It doesn't matter if they developed the DLC before the game shipped or two years later, it still had to be developed either way. You can choose to buy the DLC or not.

The $60 game is a set price, no game disc goes above that. The first TDU was quite ambitious and had a ton of content, and I don't expect any less from TDU2. If you don't feel the game has enough content already without this extra casino content, fine. But don't think you should just be entitled to any additional content for a game on principle. What about if that content was never developed in the first place? Then suddenly you are ok with the amount of content offered on the game disc? That makes no sense whatsoever.

I've never understood the concept of playing poker in a video game. If you lack the ability to read your opponents, how can you tell when they are bluffing? Doesn't video game poker instead boil down to the best player usually being the best mathematician? Being bad at math seems an unusual determiner of chumpage, but I suppose every village defines its own criteria for idiocy.

@Flakk

You're mostly right. Being good at online/video game poker has nothing to do with reading people. Most of it is just knowing probabilities of hands, but there is still an element of seeing patterns in other players. You can't read their body language, tone of voice, or eyes, but you can see how often they bluff, how big of a bluff it is, what hands they bet what amounts on, etc. And I'm guessing that people playing poker here are going to be more predictable than people playing poker on a poker site... which means I hope that they let you play for pink slips :)

@Captain Underpants
They're probably keeping "shagging" off the disc so they can sell it as DLC too.
