Also, some guy has lodged an official complaint with the Better Business Bureau and Federal Trade Commission because he didn't like the ending of Mass Effect 3.
Between going that far over a games ending and everyone crying over DLC in ME3 and SFxT, I'm starting to go off my fellow gamers.
The way I see on-disc DLC, they keep the price of the game at a reasonable level while everything else in life is increasing in price.
By selling the game for £40/$60, the game is at a managable price but, with production (and life in general) getting more expensive, this is less of a profit, realitively speaking.
So, rather than hiking up the price of the game instore and damaging sales, they keep it at a price we will accept.
The DLC then lets them make an actual profit in a way that's optional and more managable because it's spread out of a few months.
If the alternative to locked on-disc DLC was paying an extra £30/40 or an extra $40/50 for every single thing unlocked, would people prefer that?
As I see it, that's the legal* options. £40/$60 for the game and a few extra £/$ for locked DLC every other week or £80/$100 instore for everything included.
*specifically put in the word "legal" so Hasney wouldn't suggest his prefered method, which is besides the point.
