DLC On The Disc, What Is The Big Problem?

[The_Graff]

Sometimes you buy a game, and there is content on the disc that you have to buy an "unlock key" to gain access to. I simply don't see why people have such a hate for this system.

Firstly, if we compare it to the other form of day-one DLC, which is simply downloading the content, then the on-disc system has 2 main advantages:
1. It takes less time to download
2. It takes up less space on your hard drive

I don't see how this is such a bad thing. Just because the information is on the disc you bought doesn't mean you are suddenly entitled to everything on it by default. You cant for example legally distribute music from a CD you bought, just because you own the physical disc doesn't mean you suddenly can do whatever you want with it because there are rules and regulations, laws and agreements./quote]

The biggest fucking scam I've ever encountered. They basically lock off parts of the game (remember, its not even REAL DLC, it was made before the game went gold, which means its part of the gamers content) and sell it to you after for extra money. THEY DID NOT WORK ON IT AFTER THE GAMES RELEASE, THEY SIMPLY WAIT A COUPLE WEEKS AND ANNOUNCE ITS PRESENCE ON DISC.
