  • Thank you so much for posting this. People don't seem to understand that things cost money and how grueling of a workplace the video game industry is. Not everything is free and they treat companies as a single entity, forgetting that there are several individual people who work there trying to make a living and doing what they enjoy. People also tend to forget that games are getting bigger, more problems are going to be encountered. Developers, unfortunately, can't keep pushing games back until they are flawless because the people working on the game need to get it out so they can make money to live. DLC is kind of a double edged sword. If implemented properly, it's completely fine. If I can continue my story/experience on a game without hindering my progress it's cool. I have the choice as to whether or not I want to expand my adventure. When it comes to something like Destiny, I'm a bit more iffy about that. From a corporate perspective, DLC is good because, as stated before, it helps people make a living, especially since the price of games hasn't been adjusted in a long time. DLC helps make back some of the money lost during game production because inflation, while also giving people something to work on. Really, look at story writers, they need something to do once they're done writing the game's main story. So why not work on something to expand the current one? All-in-all this article was very well written and gives gamers a bit of a better insight to the gaming industry. I just hope people won't be too quick to write it off and ignore it.
