Yeah, it just bugged me going through the specials list and having it clogged with dlc for different guns. I guess I just don't play enough 'mainstream' games to notice these trends. It seems like a shitty way to do business though.

There's a theory that some devs use excessive amounts of DLC released in bulk to bump other titles off the new releases list. Steam is often used as an example for this and even today we have Rocksmith taking up more than three quarters of the new releases. This theory has never been proven though and it seems a bit unlikely.

Now I'm curious which singleplayer game first introduced a gun DLC outside of a preorder.

Okay, now this pisses me off. I don't own the game, but still, this is really ridiculous.



That's right kids, for the low low price of a dollar, you can get that much closer to having a complete game. That price of $59.99 you paid? Oh, that was just to get access to the ability to buy the rest of the game you paid full price for. Yes, buying skills, the wave of the future. And today, it's only $0.19, that's 81% off something that should be included in the game! Wow! Such a deal!

Seriously, this is really pissing me off. Games shouldn't be like this. I need to go blow some Kerbals up or something to unwind. Goodnight.

This doesn't even make sense. That is the stupidest DLC I have ever seen.

What in the name of everything sane and insane is that sort of DLC?

Wow. That's a whole new level of stupidness.

But I guess soon there will be a DLC to unlock another whole level of stupidness.

It honestly feels like a lot of their problems came from the fact that their entire team was composed of cats, and the people who were supposed to be herding them were also cats.

Just you wait until they roll out the brand new concept of DLDLC. You'll be able to purchase the ability to purchase additional content!

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

I was so annoyed, I made a thread about DLC. Go there if you want to discuss ridiculous DLC so as not to clutter this thread.

dominions 4 now on steam
And it's even reasonably priced (at my region at least)! It's a miracle!

All sorts of bethesda nonsense for 50% off on green man gaming.

Steam commonly sells them for 75% off. Commonly, as in 3-4 times a year.
Indeed. If you missed the Super Extra Special Edition being on sale for $20 a week ago, you'll have another chance come the christmas sale in a week or two.

I have Dominions 3, and dominions 4 seems to be the same game, with slightly better graphics. So what's different?
