Does it matter if the content was locked from the beginning or you had to download it? Either way you still have to pay for it if you want it.

    Yes it matters. Very very much. Imagine if you ordered a pizza for $8, $1 a slice. The delivery guy drops it off and you pay, then open the box to find half of the pizza in the box locked in another military grade security box with a slot for your credit card and a flyer that is advertising the 4 remeining slices as two separate expansions, and an expansion pass for $4, or $2.50 for two slices. When I was younger , expansions meant actual expansions. You bought your game for $50/$60 or whatever, had a blast, a ton of customers also wanted more, then a short time later you got an expansion which is the same size of the original game or bigger.

  • Well sadly we aren't in that day and age anymore.. Activision has a near monopoly on AAA games these days and it won't really ever change. Back to my point: You WILL have to pay for an expansion either way. There is no escaping that. Maybe they planned for it to be this way? Maybe their only plan was to give every buyer a half of a pizza. No matter which way you slice the subject, the consumer will always have to pay for either a key to unlock what's already on the disk OR the way when we were kids, buying and downloading an expansion.

  • If it's locked on the disc I have technically already payed for it since it's on the disc I bought. If I would download it, it would count as additional content.
