EA likes money, they've never hid that. The guy who wrote this article is doing a terrible job of hiding his bias.

Mass effect 2 had day 1 dlc, Dragon age 2 had day 1 dlc, so what exactly was different from those?

All in all this was just them testing the waters, they'll more than likely scale it back to dragonage 2 levels and try again in 3 years.

Still, I thought more people would be pissed that preorder exclusives are never made available to people after a certain amount of time, that is a lot worse than having to pay for dlc on day 1.

Is it really suprising they were voted worst company in America? They keep pissing people off and openly try to squeeze as much money as they can.

[FROST4584]

I am happy to be  part of the 60% of people, who did not purchase ME3's DLC.I won't till it is on sale.

Well ME2 was free with a new copy at least.(and no the ME3 collector edition wasn't "free" its probably where that ea guy is getting the extra 20 from)

In return I'm not hiding the fact that I actively tell people not to buy any EA product.

Yeah. It's not evil to be happy that your DLC sold. That's what pays to keep BioWare funded to continue to make kick-ass games. I swear, this new-age high school socialism crap is really starting to get annoying.

As much as I hate MineCraft. Markus Persson did tweet something to EA that made me grin.

I'm pretty sure Dragon Age: Origins and Mass Effect 2 had Day 1 DLC that came free with new games.   

[eddieoctane]

Wait, $20 day-one DLC? Is there somewhere I can get the artbook, comic, patch, soundtrack, and various in-game items not tied to Javik for free? This is news to me.

I'll grant that the Javik felt a little too integral to the story to cut out just for a day-one download, but there was a lot of other stuff that justified my CE purchase. It wasn't a $20 DLC.

Yeah I'm not sure where they're getting $20 from.

And dragon age 2?

[ThatGuy39]

There's a difference between having day 1 DLC, and having content THAT WAS ALREADY IN THE GAME being taken out and then sold as day 1 DLC. It would be like buying a car and then being told "Oh, the side mirrors? Yeah, they were on the car, but we took them off. But you can pay $500 to have them put back on"

[Almighty_Hoogs]

To be honest here, i don't mind day 1 dlc. I bought the collector's edition.We're seeing more of this sort of things these days.

Yepp. At least ME2. Can't remember how it was with Warden's keep and the stone prisoner

Yeah, My already considerable respect for Notch grew when I read that article.

1, your overreacting. and 2, while this may sound like an apologist respone, I don't care, I still get the content and it doesn't just vanish from exsistence like the collector or terminus assult armor for mass effect 2, or the AT-12 raider, or every other exclusive dlc that is gone and never released.

Exiled Prince DLC came free with pre-orders for a limited time.  If you waited too long you had to pay. 

From the Ashes is the first one I had to pay for Day 1.

Hardly, it's more like buying a new car and being told the seat warmers are extra.

[Eain]

No, suit man. You've got it all wrong.

You're not earning 80 dollars at all.

You're earning 0.

[The Protheans]

OMG I paid $80 DOLLARS FOR THE GAME.

The game converted to $70 though.
