Why is there no pre-order DLC for PC?

[FlashHero]

I was looking at getting my line-up of games i want and was checking out which store had the best Day1 DLC for free and all the codes on both gamestop and BestBuy have only for 360 and psn on it...so that made me wonder what do the PC users get?...Apparently nothing from Retail stores now-a-days.

SO...why is there no pre-order DLC for PC and what do you think the PC versions of your favorite games should get if they, for some reason, had day-1 DLC on it?




For those wondering which games I was looking at they were DeadSpace 2 and F.E.A.R.3*.
*F.3.A.R or F.E.3.R or watever it was is stupid..it's F.E.A.R 3 in my eyes.

...No gamestop around here carries PC games. So...that could be it >_>

But also because PC games never really went up in price. Console games did, they have to try to justify it a bit I guess.

Or they'll just blame piracy or something silly.

Steam gives me pre-order DLC...

Of course, a good chunk of this site are "DD IS THE DEVIL" advocates, so clearly it doesn't count.

True...steam has giving me some in the past which is why I said retail stores don't give anything. However there is still no listing on Steam for DeadSpace 2 or Fear 3 so I have no clue if either will have a pre-order DLC with it .
