I think it should.

No for the same reason ME1 isn't free.
Also we all know it costs money to make this stuff and the devs should receive good money for their hard work.

There's no business model that's demonstrably successful for DLC's so they're shooting form the hip... that means: they'll charge as much as they can get away with.

I don't disagree with you, but you're being simplicstic.

Sorry, I probably should have written out my reasoning.

If bridging DLC is free, it may give people the incentive to buy ME2.
Think of it as a form of marketing. another way ofdoing it is to charge a bit less than 520ms points for bridging DLC. Bioware can probably go to 300ms points, but I think they can charge between 400 and 500 ms points to get new ME2 owners, just as long as it is cheaper than the standard 520ms points.

My personal feeling is that Weapon and armour DLC should be free and they should charge for mission DLC. I don't actually mind paying 520ms points for good DLC.

Well they are free if you download the torrent, though illegal, so you could leave yourself vunerable to legal action.

I do think they are over-priced however.

Bioware is a business and isn't going to give away it's products for free. That's...just not very good business.

Im hapy to pay for quality DLC like Kasumi and Overlord. Dont like the nickel and dime approach to weapons and armour.



I dont think story/mission DLC should be free however as they need to make profit to fund the next project they work on. And if they went out of buisness due to lack of profitability we wouldnt be very happy.

Heh.

I tell my friends on Xbox Live that don't have ME2 when DLC comes out for it.

One friend of mine went apepoop.

Friend-"Ok dude seriously, they need to stop releasing DLC for it. My God, its been what, 8 months? How many DLCs do they have out?"

Me-"I have like 17-"

Friend-"SEE!? THAT'S RIDICULOUS!"

Me-"Well dude, its not like you had to pay for all of it. Hell, the Cerberus Network gave a bunch of free DLC, then you've got the free Dr. Pepper Promotional DLC items, etc etc."

Friend-"Ooh, who cares!?"

Me-"Are you butthurt that your favorite games don't get like 20 DLCs? Left 4 Dead 2 has what, like a whole two?"

Friend-"WHATEVER!"

Me-"By the way, there's a weapon DLC on the way, and after that, Lair of the Shadow Broker. So make that 19 DLC's I'll have."

Friend-"YO WHAT THE *Insert many cusswords here*"

Yes well it is a simple concept. Produce goods to fill the demand.... not much else to say on it. lol

So there are actually gamers out there that are upset that ME2 has a lot of good DLC? Now I've seen everything. lol

He's just mad that his favorite games don't get supported like that.

ME2 has TONS of DLC, and TONS more are on the way.

I can't wait to keep pissing him off.

In my first post I said the DLC should be free, but I didn't bother saying why I think so.

Basically, since the DLC is more or less a bridge connecting ME2 and ME3, I think it should be free so that EVERYONE is ensured to have seen and played it. If they don't make it free, then it's only natural that there will be people who won't buy it. But yes, technically, things like these aren't supposed to be free. Image IPBImage IPB

Its a DLC. Regardless of the price or lack there of, not everyone is going to get it. So that point is moot.

You've got to remember, there are folks that don't have Xbox Live. Not even Silver. They miss out. PC players have no excuse, its too easy for them to grab.
