DLC? o_O? and why? | Forums

Okay. This will be one of the few games I will buy that's coming out soon. Now the thing is, I don't play mainstream games like BF3, COD, or w.e is out there. I'm only interested in FREE TO PLAY games however, this game is an exception. My complaint is 10$ for DLC. Really? Milking gamers... yeah... DLCs SHOULD BE FREE. I cannot believe video games evolved into a process that we have to buy DLCs to keep it interesting. OBVIOUSLY, it's much better to provide free DLCs to attract more players to the game. (AKA monthly updates and such). Geez, what kind of hipster/trending/w.e its called did the video game industry turned into?

Anywho, F2P IS the FUTURE. (don't give me that pay 2 win lecture because you played combat arms. maybe you should try BLR or AVA which is known to NOT have game breaking weapons for real cash).

Oh before anyone flames, I already pre-ordered GRFS deluxe. What happen to "made by gamers, for gamers?"

And don't give me that GRO stuff. I played it, I don't like it. It's just a recon-fest.


tl;dr?
The only thing that really annoys me when big games milk their players/fans/gamers their money.

I think everybody likes the idea of "free to play games", but at some point a publisher/company/developer/studio has to also think about making money to survive, we are still in a world recession (economics/monetary wise) it's how the buisness world works. Kudos to Ubisoft and all other game companies for free to play games.

Expansion packs like Desert Siege - Island Thunder - Athena Sword etc were not free in the days gone by. $10 is nought imho, it's less than a £tenner here in the UK.
