Why are you spreading misinformation? You gain the ire of the community for being a prat by doing this. Let's look at this again, shall we? There is no 'disk locked content'. Players are not being lied to. How do I know? I'm a network engineer and have worked in software development. This is what the entire software (especially game dev) industry does. Let's say you're Bungie. You have a game with planned DLC. Would you rather... A: Push the new content in its entirety from your servers to several million users - new zones, items, AI, etc. - roughly 10GB of new data per user. Or! B: Have the framework for to-be-released DLC placed on disk (or original digital download) so when the updates for the new content are ready you only push 2GB of new content per user, ensuring a streamlined process that causes a minimum of impact and reduced costs. I'll let you think about that for awhile.
