This is a lot better of a deal than those $15 cowadoody map packs.

1. Depends on how much you pay.
2. What does $15 map packs have to do with this? I can AAA games for free these days. Besides, any and all DLC is a ripoff.

Yeah, if you use steam it's the best way to download all of the games in like 4 minutes.

That's quite a narrow view. What about Shivering Isles, for example?

I didn't either at first, but it grew on me. Try it again when they have the update out, it's looking like it'll really flesh out the game.

but that's exactly what dlc is. patches arent usually dlc, because it's mostly bugfixes

@173,327 (Handel !khEOdtKF56)
It content that was downloadable. Therefore it's DLC.

I can see what you're getting at, though. Another example of good DLC was the DLC for Dragon Age Origins. They were pretty solid in my opinion.

I mean, this is a lot better deal than most other ultra-overpriced games. Besides, it's also for charity.

Anonymous G replied with this 15 years ago, 3 minutes later, 58 minutes after the original post[^] [v] #173,339

lol, linux and Mac gamers are more grateful for games.

Average Windows payment: $2.59
Average Mac OS X payment: $5.54
Average Linux payment: $10.38

@173,328 (dreamworks !AUIkTW/L46)
I bet you can run VVVVVV ;)
Probably others but that's the only one I've played so far and I don't know how the other games are on specs.

No it isn't, and who the fuck said anything about patches?

@173,334 (Killer Lettuce !!iNo3FkiZx)

> Content that was downloadable. Therefore it's DLC.

I suggest you educate yourself, just because you can access and download the content via the internet does not mean it's DLC. It may seem similar but it isn't.

@173,335 (advi !!3gpAcg/hF)

True.

Why don't you explain the difference to me, then? What separates some DLC from an expansion?

Again, you can't just label all DLC as bad. If a person downloads some DLC and enjoys it, surely that's money well spent?

I try to explain it in the most basic way I can.
When you are play WoW Vanilla, you are playing Wow Vanilla. When you install the expansion (Burning Crusade), you are playing WoW: Burning Crusade. When you playing COD 4, you are playing COD 4. When you install <insert map pack name here>, you are still playing COD 4 not COD 4: <insert map pack name here>.

> Again, you can't just label all DLC as bad. If a person downloads some DLC and enjoys it, surely that's money well spent?

That's the problem most of the time, DLC is a rip-off.

@previous (Killer Lettuce !!iNo3FkiZx)

Yes, and the fact some DLC content is intentionally left out the main game so it can be sold as DLC.

Still happens though, and it shouldn't.
DLC is one of the worst things that have happened to modern gaming, and the more DLC people buy the more it will be accepted as the norm.

@173,354 (Handel !khEOdtKF56)
I can agree with you on that. Both Dragon Ages left out an entire party member and had them as DLC instead. If you bought a copy first-hand, they were free, but still. It's intentionally withholding content.

Exactly, hence my utter distaste for any and all DLC. I'm so concerned about DLC I intend to bring it up with the European Union and demand them to outlaw it.
