Ryan Syrett for Xboxer360.com writes: Considering the discussion on my last feature: ‘Are we getting swindled my first hand DLC?’ I decided to write a couple of follow up features on the subject of DLC in general, since that’s where the comments tended to end up.
I see a pretty big division between gamers when it comes to this matter. Some feel it is our right to have every single game enhancing DLC for free, simply because it should be a ‘thank you’ to everyone who went out and brought the game in the first place. Some people argue that a lot of DLC is cut from the original game while in production, just so the publishers can make a few more bucks.
On the other hand some people see no issues paying what they see as a fair amount for any decent DLC. It’s an extra bit of story to their favorite game; a new area to explore, a couple of new features that may change a game’s dynamic. Why isn’t it worth money? The developers have worked long and hard on it so you can’t expect it for free!
These groundbreaking video games changed gaming forever and drew in scores of fans in the process.
The legal battle for the acquisition of Activision Blizzard continues, with Microsoft countering one of the FTC's latest moves and the Judge delaying a relevant ruling.
Look, to be honest the FTC should just stop.
MS has A/B and nothing has really changed yet...if you are worried about 5-10 years from now...just drop it cause the future is unpredictable.
Take this week's news, that 4 Xbox exclusive are going Multiplatform.
The FTC and the lawyers behind the "Gamers' lawsuit" against Microsoft over the acquisition of Activision Blizzard are denouncing the recent layoffs within the respective legal battles.
When DLC is not planned, and fans demand it it's cool. But when you sit up there and plan DLC before the game even releases that's a major problem.
You've got all the right tags thats for sure, RB/GH/CoD are worst for DLC.

MW2=expensive DLC=Maps=fail
i rarely buy dlc. it always feels like im buying content that should have been on the disk. if its a game i really want ill usually hold out to see if they release a game of the year edition, which, they usually do. red dead has done a good job with dlc by offering packs with a major amount of content so you definitely get your moneys worth. i just hate when i buy a fighting game or a racing game and see a character or car pack with new items like a day or 2 later. so irritating.
