This generation of gaming, it seems like we are getting a lot of DLCs (downloadable content) for a lot of games. What are your thoughts about it? Do you think game developers are making them just for profit?
Personally, I've started to think that many developers are greedy. They are giving us nearly completed games, in which we have to pay around 50-60$ on release date, and then make the DLCs so they drain our wallets a little bit more to approximately 10-15$ per DLCs. I can understand if developers run out of time and need to release the game a bit incomplete but shouldn't DLCs be free if that's the case? As an example, Rockstar is releasing new missions to their new release L.A Noire. In my opinion, it doesn't really give the game any new feel to it other than to make the game a bit longer. Another example is Assassin's Creed II. Chapters 12 and 13 were missing from the final version of the game. From what I've heard, Ubisoft didn't have time to finish those two chapters but we still have to pay for it. Someone have to correct me on that one if I'm wrong.
Something I don't mind with DLCs is if it adds something new like a new story. An example of this is Red Dead Redemption with Undead Nightmares.
What do you guys think of this?
