New DLC system EA edition

As long as there is people who are willing to pay for it they will continue this nonsense... if people don't buy it they will stop, but who knows frankly, I'm pretty amazed at what people spend their money into.

It's too late to do anything, gaming industry is leading slowly to crisis which might be much more worse, than was in 1983... Unless Blizzard will show to Activision middle finger and throw away from them, Ubisoft will start doing good games again, and EA will finally bankrupt for what i doubt may happend.

And sadly it is our fault in most cases, because we buy all of... "Sweet lies"

damn these greedy companies releasing stuff that people are forced to buy with their own money.

Kinda disappointed. Hoped for something big, instead got same thing that for example Overkill did - release skins you can use with DLC-exclusive weapons.
EA just packed all those skins in one package instead of loot-boxes. Which actually makes them a bit better I guess?

I would just like to point out that Paradox is still the undisputed king of bad dlc practices.

Although I can't remember any specific case right now I know for sure that there are some games already doing this on steam.

Despicable.

Seriously I don't care. And I think a lot of ppl allowed it by buying tons of crap for sims series. So players are at fault too by investing in cards packs, cosmetics dlc's if there wasn't market for those it would be pointless to release them. But on the other hand I like what Ubi is doing for example with AC:O.

The best sims are sims 2.
And even there were paid addons - for example you can buy certain clothes or furniture (and some of them requires specific dlc's). Although I would never buy it. Reason is actually the same why I don't buy stuff at "bethesda's creation club". There are better items made by community and they are for free.

I still don't get the stigma associated with DLC. DLC in and of itself isn't a bad thing. It's content. It literally means "downloadable content", that's as non discriptive as it can get. Now some of that content is good and has a fair price (take the Witcher 3 expansions for instance, or the Dark Souls DLCs), some of it is absolute ass and costs an arm and a leg, but DLC isn't inherently bad. When expansions where common place no one lost their minds like this.

I guess it's because the term DLC got a bad rep when it began being used since the first relevant instance was that ridiculously expensive horse armour for Oblivion and I get that people got hung up on that, but let's not automatically burn something at the stake because it's being called "DLC". We have to move past that.
They're selling extra content for something that didn't come with the base game, that's not really so out there, it's not really unheard of.
You can criticise them for selling shitty DLC (and lord knows they do that, hell this specific one seems to be just hats for your cats and dogs, sounds like an ironic mod someone made to poke fun at TF2 or something like that), but not really for selling DLC, even if it is for something that was an added purchase on top of buying the game.
