Subject: Should We Pay For DLC (Downloadable Content?

After paying $70.00 or £40.00 for halo reach should we be paying for dlc. Dlc is already made before the game is realsed so why should we pay for it, for gaming companys to keep it away from us? espically when a game realses sevral dlc over a year with bungie pro it come to nearly more money than what you puchases the game for. i think it would be very good if bungie realses another dlc that they should realse it for free if you have puchased map packs before hand. ( feel free to discuss )...

chances are I don't care who you are or what you say.

1. Bungie has no power over reach and halo anymore, so they can't and won't do anything.

2. Every company wants more money, and although DLC is pricey they get more money. It would be great if it were free but that won't happen. Cheaper would be cool though

Didact's Reprisal -
Now is the time of our unworlding
One final effort is all that remains
And I am not afraid
We shall fulfill our promise
We fight for the grace of the Mantle
And this time none of you will be left behind

If the DLC was already fully made, functional, and could have been incorporated into the game before hitting the deadline, then yes the DLC should be free.

Otherwise people did work to make it, and should have an additional cost.

I prefer the method adopted by Bungie during Halo 2: the DLC cost money, but if you waited quite a few months it would eventually be free. But I doubt Microsoft would allow anyone to have that type of reign again.

But for future reference bungie should think about there loyal supporters and bungie pro should of been free espically when you buy all there dlc before they ever realsed. and they shouldnt get additional costs espically if they make so much money and profit!

You do realize that most of the time it isn't, right? Epic Games does that, which is why I will never buy any of their DLC. But a company like Bungie? They have the game go to disk THEN start working on the DLC. So no, it isn't done before release.

to be fair some of it is not all of it!

  • 12.11.2011 12:20 PM PDT

i agree with the dlc payments, its so expensive, and if money makes the world go round son, what the frek have they done with our $70.00 where did it go not all on devouping the game for sure as "Halo: Reach" had racked up $200 million in global sales on its launch day, building strong momentum for the November debut of the Xbox 360 maker's new gaming system.

Ohai, I'm Loscocco (pronounced Loss-cocoa). I'm a college student (computer science major), 3D animator, and long-time Halo player.

When I get an extra-credit problem correct on an exam, I shouldn't get any points for it because I already knew the answer to it beforehand...

DLC should be free bro i totally agree! its so annoying going to game to get more microsoft points just so you can play certain playlists online, as they block you for not having the correct dlc!! :(

  • 12.11.2011 12:27 PM PDT

Some of the users above are so silly, of coursce dlc should be free espically if its realsed with in the first 6 months of the game started selling

  • 12.11.2011 12:28 PM PDT

Not saying that dlc isnt good but i agree with the last comment sometimes you dont look forward as its at a high price and they block some playlists which make you pay for it!

You don't need to buy DLC.

  • 12.11.2011 12:32 PM PDT

I think should have to pay for it. They spend the extra time developing it and making sure it all works out well. Even if it's made pre-release they're still putting the extra time into making it.

wow idiot thats a great insult for a 5 year old! and dlc stops you from doing certain features online! such a noob!

unique trooper i agree but dont you think it should at least be alot cheaper?

  • 12.11.2011 12:39 PM PDT

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.

Latest DLC as released a year after the release of Reach by a different developer, are you saying that it was made before Reach came out and they've had it until now?

People work to make these map packs, they should be paid for their work.

No, I'm ok with how much it is. I appreciate the fact that they spend the time and effort to make the maps and such for us to play and am ok with any general price that isn't over 1200 MSP. And last I knew, Microsoft generally prices the DLC (I think.).

RC Clone is the anti-thesis of a lurker.

DLC is the only way Microsoft can make money now. All of the sales of downloaded maps, avatar accessories, minigames are the only way to make more money than lose spending $1,000 to produce a 360 and millions to make big name title like Halo. If DLC was free they would just close the xbox platform.

If you are playing a game for over a year then pay for the DLC cheapass. It costs as much as s supersized value meal and I'm sure going a day without fast food would benefit you.
