Why do companies sell you a $60 game and then nickel and dime you for add-ons?? a $60 game ends up turning out to a $100 game after add-ons am I the only one noticing this....>:(

Because they let the budgets get so high that to get margins they once had they looking for more revenue streams. This gen has been brutal on the AAA level, we need devs to budget better so we dont get the shaft. I certainly hope they dont give us another 10 dollar HD gen tax for Wii U , PS4, Xbox 3

I hope not either I definately agree. We pay enough for the games already to be paying extra for add ons they couldve just released with the game as unlockable content.

You don't (have) to buy dlc. But I agree that on-disc dlc or day 1 dlc is a slap in the face of most gamers.

Having to pay for DLC is kind of like the free games where theres all this AWESOME stuff but it's not free at all and you have to ridiculous prices to get them.

I'm of the opinion that disc dlc and day 1 dlc should be outlawed.
