Planning DLCs before you've even launched the game should be illegal. So pretty much. They are planning to release an unfinished game where micropurchases rule supreme so everyone gets on the same content level.
Hey you bought the game? Cool. But if you wanna play with us you need this this and that DLC pack. It's only an extra 40 bucks.
Yeah. Ofc it triggers you.
The problem with DLCs isn't the DLC. It's how it's used. And your whole argument is total bullshit, proven wrong by so many great games who does not have to rely on predatory DLC requirements.
The problem here. Is that they've already started working on DLCs before the game has even launched. You don't see a problem with that from a consumer standpoint?
And be real. They're not implementing this DLC strategy because they have to, because funding is difficult for them. It's because it's proven to be the most profitable With PayDay2 as proof.
Sort of a complicated scenario. Where do you draw the line for it being anti consumer? Say the people on the dev team who do: concept art, writing, modeling, etc. What should they be doing. At this stage most of the development going into the game is very final touches (if that) and bug squashing. I don't think it's out of line for those people to be working on future content. Seems a bit strange to hold them until the release date. It definitely is a tough line to find though, and can change depending on the context of when and how the dlc development started.
