Capcom is proud to charge you extra for game content that's on the disc you already paid for

    As TotalBiscuit would say: If it's on the disc, it should be available to consumers.

    Capcom's defense is ridiculous. Any developer putting DLC on the retail disc and wanting to charge later for it are money grubbing bastards.

    I think the game 'DLC Quest' fits nicely here.

    I'm so sick of DLC. I guess I should be happy I don't buy games until months after release when they're on sale, usually bundled with all DLC released since then. That, or it gets pirated. (I have 285 games on Steam, shush.) Otherwise, I play Indie games, which most of the time are far more enjoyable and provide way better 'bang for the buck' than big publisher titles, namely $60 games. Thanks, Activision, for increasing the price of PC games, it's really what us consumers need with this terrible economy.

    So, yeah. The new price of $60 per game with extra costs of DLC available from day 1 = game is completely ignored until it's over half price. You don't increase game sales by charging more and screwing your consumers out of content, you do the opposite.

    I really need to continue with my game development..
  3. I thought that I was only missing cole...I feel like a sucker right now,darn it!.Instead of "enjoying this game for years" im going to get a lighter and a trash can pretty soon.
  4. Wow how low companies go to milk there customers. Not enough innovation going on at capcom to make money anymore. Charge 60 bucks for a game and decide to lock content already on a disk to ask money for it later on. You already paid for it once now they wanna dig deeper. Retards.
  5. The morale of the story here is as said above, Speak with your wallets if you don't agree with poor choices publishers or devs make don't buy it then send them an email saying why and that no you won't torrent it.

    This way they cannot blame piracy for the lame choices they make and instead have to reflect on giving a better deal or service to the consumer (the ppl who keep them employed.)

    This reminds me of Saints Row: The Third.

    The game wasn't up to standards anyway with its big lack of content on the previous game, so when people discovered the huge sum of "Disc Locked Content" that came with it, you can imagine the anger. I for one wasn't jumping around in joy over it. If anything, It'll really make me question any future games from Volition.

    I like to imagine what a game like Grand Theft Auto - San Andreas would have been like had it been made a few years later. Although Rockstar are not seen as a generally "bad" company in that department, you can sort of imagine how stripped down all that content would have been.
