Because, well who knows, but I do know that Nintendo does DLC right

Because that's graham crust you got there.

Actually now that I think about it, plain cheese pizza is pretty good

 

...now I have to rethink everything

But when you think about it, pizza places do charge you for each toping, so we kinda do accept it.

I never really understood DLC like

 

why do I have to pay for things in the game, that should have already been in the game when I bought it

This is one of the unfortunate misconceptions about DLC. Yes there is such a thing as "on-disc DLC" and it's a despicable practice and shouldn't be tolerated; Capcom is one of the most egregious offenders, although they've gotten better.But most DLC actually ISN'T that. Most DLC is just extra stuff that the creators worked on and want you to pay for so they can earn a living like most people.In terms of the food analogy, DLC is dessert. You don't get dessert just because you bought dinner.

I'm not completely against DLC. It can actually be a good thing like you said. I just don't like it when they announce

 

a whole bunch of DLC when the game is not even out yet.

True, and that's where they can stretch the definition about it. "Day 1 DLC" and "on disc DLC" aren't the same thing, necessarily... but it's close =P.Vote with your wallets, peeps.

that annoys me as well. The best DLC's are what we used to call expansions. They'd have new stuff that the developers made after the main game was done that extended the life of the game.

I agree with Blank, DLC has a bad rep in most circles. Not all of it is bad.

 

Also, DLC announced before the game's release doesn't always mean they're taking chunks out of the game either. Sometimes they just can't finish all the content by the deadline. Nothing's perfect. Sometimes its because they want to put EXTRA content in the game that they didn't plan to put in the first place.

 

It's the exact case with DragonBall: Xenoverse. A game only me and like three other people care about...
