You've Been Up in Arms About On-Disc DLC, So Capcom's "Re-evaluating" |
Listed in: News Tags: Capcom, on-disc dlc
Dragon's Dogma is coming out next week, and it looks like Capcom may be heading the on-disc DLC furor for the game off at the pass. Capcom US head honcho Christian Svensson has come out and said that, yes, Dogma will have on-disc DLC, but going forward they'll be re-evaluating that policy.
"We would like to assure you that we have been listening to your comments and as such have begun the process of re-evaluating how such additional game content is delivered in the future," he said on Capcom Unity. "As this process has only just commenced in the last month or so, there will be some titles, where development began some time ago and that are scheduled for release in the coming months, for which we are unable to make changes to the way some of their post release content is delivered."
Dragon's Dogma is one such game, though Svensson went on to say that there would be future DLC for it that was not included on the disc.
He concluded the whole thing by saying, "Just wanted people to know in advance the whys, wherefores, and where we're going in the future. You are being heard. Thanks."
Wow, it worked.

I preordered MvC3 months before release, got the collector's edition, and was promised DLC characters. What I got was two characters already on the disk, the game missing glaringly obvious features like spectator mode in online matches, and then four months later UMvC3 is announced as a separate disk and not a DLC addon.... and you STILL need to buy the two DLC characters from MvC3 to get them in UMvC3!
I can understand Capcom doing this last gen since there wasn't really a decent way to patch and add DLC to games, but not this gen. UMvC3 isn't the first game Capcom did this to me this gen but I promise it will be the last.

That not only perfectly fine, but even welcome. I hope Capcom isn't getting the notion that people are against DLC period. Its on-disk DLC they were pissed off about, since on-disk DLC is content that was finished and released with the game, but locked away until you paid for it. DLC that is developed after the game is released is perfectly fine and many gamers are willing to pay for it.

Either way it's bad.
I hope that when the economy gets back up these companies will stop pulling this carp all together, then again, greed, greed never changes...

People obviously have no problem paying more. Hell look at MMOs. They pay over $100 a year for a single game. Sometimes close to $200. That pretty much proves that if you give more content, people will pay more.

some smaller issues are content that could of easily been included but got left out as the knew they would be able to cash in from real fans where as average playes dont really care if the leave on of the main fan fav characters out of a fighting game only to release him/her 2 weeks later with a nice $6 price tag,
I think Capcom have completely missed what the players where saying and istead thought people where just pissed the content was on disk, i dont care if its on a disk or delivered by carrier pidgeon, just aslong as the content didnt get subtracted from the original content which should have always been included just so they can have some DLC but CBA making anything after production
Make a Complete Game DLC was always meant to be "addons" not "the missing pieces"
