[Multiplatform] Boobs and... Lightsabers - Soul Calibur 4

So apparently the new downloadable content for the game...well, it's not new content at all, it's simply a code to unlock what you have already purchased. The new content is already on your disk and the code simply lets you use it. Gotta like a company that is becoming an online whore. It's the beginning of the end for DLC...I hope that people will be smart and not support Namco's money-grabbing tactics.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I did expect DLC to actually be new content, yes, not paying for content that is already there on the disk I bought, I'm just not allowed to "use"it unless I give them more money.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

That doesn't imply that it's the end of DLC, though. The amount of shit companies have gotten for pulling this is staggering, and there's still plenty of actual DOWNLOADS out there.

True. I just wish that customers wouldn't blindly accept it... "well, it's only a couple of bucks..." etc. The idea is to not support companies that do this, so that they (hopefully) change their ways. Otherwise they will keep on doing this with content. Soon, they'll release a game that is the equivalent of one "chapter" and make you pay for extra "chapters" that are already included on the disk...

There is a time when companies have too much power, and right now, we as gamers for some reason are completely accepting of the shit they decide to dish out. I "hope" that the video game market as it stands crashes and burns horrendously. It's the only way that it will get out of this glut of ever-increasing money grabbing schemes to pay for their ridiculously large advertising/development budgets.

Sorry to derail, I'm just a bit upset at the shit that Namco's pulling.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
