46. Re: BioWare Explains Mass Effect 3 Day One DLC Feb 24, 2012, 13:43 Panickd
 
The DLC situation is so completely out of hand these days. I can understand them making some little bullshit DLC pack to reward people for buying a retail copy of the game instead of buying it used but when you're getting paid $60 for the game and you expect players to put up with shelling out more for some day 1 DLC you're well and truly fucked in your greedy little head. There need to be rules put in place for DLC content and rule 1 should be, "Don't sell me DLC on day 1 and if you do don't try and feed me some line of bullshit about how it was completed after the game before the game itself is even on sale!"

Rule 2: "No DLC that splits up the MP community." Selling a map pack that only 10% of your players buy makes developers and publishers look like greedy asshats. Doubly so when the maps are remakes of the same MP maps from a previous game in the franchise. Either put the MP stuff in the game to begin with or give it away for free!

And Rule 3: When all the DLC you put out for a game ends up costing more than the game itself you have gone too far and it's time to re-evaluate the methods you use to decide what to cut out of the game so you can sell it to me later.
