Whats this? Another post?!

I was bored today, so I thought I would make another blog today to keep myself entertained and talk about something. Its another pet hate that annoys me in video games and it is a re-occurring thing. Day 1 DLC.

One thing I really hate in the gaming industry

Recently, a game called Evolve launched to the public, many claming it to be the GOTY, but really. Its only been 2 months into the year, plus we got The Witcher 3 and The Division to come, don't get your hopes up for an Evolve GOTY edition.

Evolve released for about £40 on PC and about £55 for consoles. Then we had the £80+ day 1 DLC that came with it. It was mainly monster skins and what not. But come on! If it could be released as day 1 DLC, it should be free! Not £80+ to get all the skins! Its just evidence that 2k games is greedy and wants to rake in money for a half decent game.

This is all the Day 1 DLC that was available on the steam store, there maybe more on XBL and PSN

Another culprit that got a lot of hate for day 1 DLC was the at first disappointing Mass Effect 3. EVERYONE (and I literally mean everyone) flamed EA as being greedy for making day 1 DLC. Sure if you got the N7 edition on consoles or the Deluxe edition on PC you got the "From Ashes" DLC for free (and if you were a fan of ME series, you most likely did) but if you got the standard edition you had to pay out an extra £10 for it.

In my personal opinion, if it released along side a game's release, it should be free as it was still made with the games original budget. But that's just my two cents.
