This seems more about entitlement or just cheap people in general. So that being said, i disagree with the greed comment. Now we have easy access to games all around the world, not to mention all the indie developers it created pumping out even more games, which drives market saturation and competition, creating a smaller pieces of the pie if you have a somewhat successful game to begin with. We didn't have the convenience of digitally downloadable content or instant gratification back in the day. It gives incentive for dev's to continue on with a game rather then abandon projects earlier on because they don't have as much cash incentive or funding after the majority of their fan base has already purchased the EA for cheaper price to begin with.Īlso, the comparison between then and now releasing all content for one price or in sections is not a relevant complaint. It's not like you spend all that much for a early access to begin with compared to a AAA game being sold for between $60-80 and waiting almost twice as long to have access to. I don't see a problem having the option to buy DLC's if you enjoy a game. I suppose it is a good business model, if you are a greedy self centered d-bag. Cyber-bullying you to pay the 'activation' fee because it is already forced on your drive anyway. Regardless of customer data plans or storage limitations. Next came downloading it on you rig whether you bought it or not. The 21st brought into existence gaming corporations with the idea of making a complete game and then selling it in sections. The gaming industry survived just fine for decades releasing ALL the content for one price. A way to milk every cent out of consumers. Whether out of ignorance or idiocy I cannot say. Maybe not always ideal, but overall I think this method extends the life of good games. They are often bundled and go on sale, which is when I usually buy them. And then I start dreading it's future and feel less inclined to invest interest into it.Īs much as it may seem like DLC overload at first glance, the DLC flow keep Paradox games alive and generally improving for many years.
