What is the question here is that why do we get Day 1 DLC?
No, not exactly "buttmad", just tad bit disappointed.
Why?
Day1 DLC indicates that the company is selling us an unfinished product right from the start.
No it doesn't, and until you realize why you'll be off course entirely.
Day 1 DLC would indicate an unfinished product
if the DLC was a key component of the game itself.Most Day 1 DLC however, simply isn't. Extra weapons or armors are not a key part of the story. The game is quite complete without them. It's simply promotional.
The only Day 1 DLC to have an argument at being 'unfinished product' is the Prothean character... who first remains to be seen how the game is without him (Zaeed and Kasumi were hardly key parts of the game of ME2), and second who may have had development issues that interfered with the certification process (a problem that also happened to Shale from DAO).
I use my own company here as an example.
I'm carpenter, so I cannot and shall not ever sell unfinished products. It just isn't an option to me.
Think about it for a second. Here's a desk for you and for additional Day 1 DLC you can now get the extra legs for it so you can actually use it just like desk is thought to be used.
Originally it had four legs but I took two away before it went "gold" to make more profit.
Actually, the example here would be if you made a desk, and then someone wanted an attachment to the already four-legged desk to make it larger and more supportive.
And it is just sad to say Puiracy kills alone, so we must resort to these options.
Bull****. There's no 'must' about it.
Ten years back, you had clear Game, then half year later an expansion for it and frequent patching, if needed.
Now you buy Game, buy patch, expansion and perhaps hope that your one-time-only code works.
Ten years ago, the internet and gaming as we know it didn't exist. Your arguing a generational difference.
