Blazingken talks about stuff, article 3, DLC the good and the bad part 1

DLC has been a rather controversal topic in the gaming world recently. For those of you who don't know, DLC meaning DownLoadable Content, and it's created quite a stir in the gaming world. Now, there are 2 types of DLC, but first I will get into the actual downloaded DLC. Now, DLC is a good thing... if used by the right people. It's like sushi, you can't get from just anyone, but certain people who know how to make and sell it. A good example of DLC is Super Smash Bros 4, where a game that is jam packed with content wants to give you even more for reletivly good prices. Good. Look at Fire Emblem Awakening. A game ALSO jam packed, but they sell it for way too much. Ok... i guess? Now, look at Call of Duty. Latest games have little content and tons of DLC. This is not okay. If you buy a game, you should get what you paid for. DLC is not the actual game, you cannot hold back content with pay walls, DLC is meant to be optional, completly unnessasary extras that are not mandatory in any way but are simply there for extra fun. Part 2 will discuss "Physical DLC". If you liked, be sure to leave 5 stars and maybe even a smiley face.

It's sad that they now leave parts out of games just to release them as DLC, while SSB4 took what we wanted for DLC and used it.
Bad DLC in a nutshell:

Destiny.
I agree.The problem with most of these publishers is that they are sometimes demanding(maybe even within the game) to buy additional content(which some can be also considered as important to the game's campaign/story) for way too much or just release a lot of content that's doesn't justify the price they're asking.Nintendo does it right because they offer you the additional content and buy them optionally if you want,and the games themselves are complete since release.At least it's not all that bad. :p
I really dont have an problem with Dlc but there are a few things i dislike
1.The already stated more Dlc than actual game
2.Unecessary Dlc(remember when capcom made rainbows[alt color characters] to dlc?)
3.Dlc that costas almost as much as the game while not being that much
4.Dlc not being supported on every port of the game
