Life Is Strange: Double Exposure's Cat DLC Is, In Fact, The Worst
I miss when we were able to have a single price tag, pay the price, and get a complete game, at launch date
Funny you mention this with a LiS - the OG game originally being a periodic game.
Luckily the fate of periodic games died fast.
I hated it back then too. I refused to buy it, until they released the full thing
If people keep buying it, they gonna keep doing it.
I miss my games being on solid media that I can trade with my friends or sell at a game store.
But I would not give up the seven seas to have that back again.
DLC existed in some form long before digital-only releases existed. We just used to call them expansions, and people used to buy them in droves.
Edit: All those downvoting me clearly weren't alive during the shareware boom, or during EA's early attempts to extort players for the pleasure of having a potted plant in The Sims. This outrage over DLC is just an echo chamber of angry gamers who aren't the target audience anyway.
That is objectively a false statement.
Phantom Liberty is an expansion. Shadow of the Erdtree is an expansion. Knights of the Nine and the Shivering Isles are expansions. Echoes of the Eye is an expansion. Bad Company: Vietnam is an expansion. All of these amount to a third, to a half of the total game content. We used to buy them, and will continue buying them, because they add absolutely insane value to what you already really liked.
"Exclusive cat content" that can only be obtained through a 30$ upgrade, and includes 3 new costumes, and whatever the hell cat content is, is dlc. This adds nothing of value for us, but lines the pockets of the studio shareholders quite substantially.
Just because the large players in the industry are complicit, it doesn't change history, and certainly it doesn't change the vocabulary.
