>DLC is le bad
You only hate DLC this much because you're an unemployed loser.

It's actually pretty impressive

paid dlc cosmetics are bad because it incentivizes them to make shitty cosmetics and then charge money for the good ones. also paid dlc that just adds stuff that should have been baseline is bad. however, i don't think dlc is always bad. for example, new level packs that are outside the scope of the original game or something, those are fine. i don't think anyone ever had an issue with expansions and those are basically just big dlc packs.

reminder that microtransactions in video games was epstein's idea.

Todd is unironically responsible for DLCs becoming a thing

Meanwhile you niggers now pay $2 for a 0.5% chance at getting a character, which is gimped unless you roll those 0.5% multiple times

It's really sad the pushback against being nickel and dimed was eroded to the point we are now infested with fags that defend the shitty monetisation of vidya.

nah, they just made some mods and released them on their website. as plenty of PC game devs did.

another example:
>Jedi Academy Bonus Map Pack
>Happy Holidays from Raven Software! Included in this map pack are 6 new MP maps (1 Duel, 1 CTF, and 4 FFA).

imagine they followed that up with
>...and the pack is yours for just $2.99!

if you CAN imagine that, you're under 30, get off my website.

>DEVS SHOULDN'T BE COMPENSATED FOR THEIR WORK WAAAAAAAH

>>736526539
would you apply this same line of thinking to all the hobbyist mod creators?

maybe the devs just made these for fun, anon. in fact, it's possible the employees at the game companies receive a salary as part of their job!

We didn't know how good we had it. An entire wizards tower player home with teleportation and crafting all for 2 bucks.

Meanwhile, in the present gaming market...

>Bethesda not only makes extremely shitty games, they ruin the industry forever
Todd... I kneel

>>736524890
Todd is not blameless, BUT
On the PC people had already made a business out of downloading maps and shit and putting them on CDs to sell back to you at brick and mortars
There were already paid DLCs on the previous console (remember paying for maps on Halo 2?)
Koreans had already pioneered shitting up their mmos with pay-to-win microtransactions
And Microsoft were the ones who were really touting microtransactions on the 360
>>
>>736526050
Who wanted the DLC charged was Microsoft who wanted something to shill the old GFWL system as the 360 store
>>
Reminder Nintendo fanboys were smug for years about how Nintendo would never ever sell DLC and then never ever sell micro-transactions.

I am sure they'd come up with some faggotry about physical ownership or some-such nonsense, like they did with amiigos
