I disagree with the whole "don't like it, don't buy it, you're not forced to buy it" thing.

To extort players of features such as costumes, levels and even difficulty options is just wrong. Before consoles came equipped with out the box network features that allowed you to download patches and DLC developers had to make sure a game was finished with no game breaking bugs. Now developers are lazy with what is a safety net.

I agree with DLC that can add hours and enjoyment to a game which the developers came up after release. I disagree with DLC that makes the base game somewhat crippled until you download what should be in the base game period.

I fear what's next to be charged.

Capcom is just an exception as most DLC is awesome. Companies that have the extras on the dvd already is not the way to go.
