    DLC existed in some form long before digital-only releases existed. We just used to call them expansions, and people used to buy them in droves.

    Edit: All those downvoting me clearly weren’t alive during the shareware boom, or during EA’s early attempts to extort players for the pleasure of having a potted plant in The Sims. This outrage over DLC is just an echo chamber of angry gamers who aren’t the target audience anyway.






  • I’m in no way condoning Nintendo’s behaviour, but the idea that they don’t make any money from their back catlog is rather misleading given that they have re-released a large number of their older titles to either buy or rent on every console since the Wii, along with releasing mini versions of their older consoles with the titles pre-loaded. It’s not like they locked those games away never to be seen again.
