Release the DLC one year or 6 months after the launchĮxpecting your userbase to know something about the developing process and expecting them to be sympathetic is a bad plan.Ī disturbingly large portion of the gaming community is composed of people who don't care about context If you know it's a misconception then work around it No game is good or bad, its all about how they implement it on a case by case basis The SIMS 4 did something very similar a few years ago by removing content from 3 and reselling it. Tiger Woods PGA Tour 13, had courses you could 'rent or purchase' which were available in the previous games. I may have grouped every game when I said it but I think DX did a good job of a rather light / tame DLC experience. That is a fair assessment but that is not what I am saying.

I would love to see some examples of AAA full price games that cannot be completed or are not fun without purchasing what people infer as mandatory microtransactions or dlc. I don't think I have ever bought any DLC for any game, but I am not gonna sit here and bitch that it shouldn't exist. I have worked on at least 5 games that have had DLC and not once was it something that was taken out of the main game and re-packaged as DLC. instead of ohhhh you know.the team sitting idle doing nothing and all getting laid off after a dev cycle. Or, cranked out in the 2-3 months of waiting around time between gold master and shipping and because it is delivered digitally instead of having to rely on physical manufacturing unlike the main game can be delivered on day 1. A lot of the times DLC is developed in parallel to the main game, with a completely separate, team, budget and production. I think this is one of the biggest misconceptions that keeps being thrown around by gamers and people who don't actually work in the industry.

I'm not saying this is the case with Deus Ex but its a hard topic Games use to be sold complete, it just seems more and more companies take out park of the game to resell them.
