@nightripper

i'm going to take a guess and say he's asking why people are so willing to be nickled and dimed and actually pay for content that should have been included when they originally purchased the game.

it's like buying at full price that can go over 30 mph. but then you have to pay the developers to unlock it and let you go 60 mph.

i mean you wouldn't download a car would you?

@nightripper

actually that's not the best analogy, i'd say a better one would be unlocking the ability to go over 75mph, as the car is more "functional."

but the point is that things like extra costumes used to be like easter eggs or extras you could unlock via in game accomplishments. i envisioned DLC to be a way to enhance the gameplay experience by adding in content not originally planned for at development. not a way to capitalize on the consumers by locking out content that's fully completed, although this turn of events is not unexpected. games are already priced at a premium if the content is there then price it at 60 bucks. don't charge 60 bucks for 80% of the content and then charge 10-40 bucks for the other 20%.

Digital prices blow my mind. Crysis 2 for $40, which is apparently on sale. I got it from gamefly for $10 and traded it back in for $8. If the day ever comes when games go digital only and they have this same price model, I will probably stop gaming. Or get a gaming computer and buy sales on steam.

Another reason why physical copies are the way to go instead of digital copies on PSN/XBLA. I would never pay $40 for a digital copy when I can get the physical copy for much less. Luckily I have Steam so am prepared if we ever see a digital only era with consoles.
