Is anyone else getting annoyed with DLCs?

[Clockwork Knight]

As for DLC on the disc that you need to pay to unlock, same goes.

The thing is, they need PR crap to try and cover themselves because of all you whining kids out there (and yes, all you supposedly grown-up 30+ something kids too) who believe you have a right to use software just because it happens to be on the disc you've paid for the access rights to.
Grow the fuck up!
The real world doesn't work like that; let's take one of the most prolific and widely spread database technologies for example. You pay for a license and you get a disc. That disc (or discs) come with every possible feature the software can support, but your signed for and agreed to license denotes which parts of it you can legally use. Just because you happen to have the disc in your possession and the code is on the disc, DOES NOT mean you are licensed to use it.
This is exactly the same. You haven't bought the game, you've bought a license to use a copy of the game. The DLC is merely a license upgrade. Who gives a flying fuck whether it's already on the disc? Christ you could even conceivably think of it as a bonus because you don't have to download it when you want to use it! But no, you can't see beyond the end of your upturned spoilt little nose that's been put out by these nasty evil horrible men in their big suits, big cars and big buildings.

funny how I can see his point, but he still comes as a raging faggot about it

Isn't this guy comparing apples and oranges here? I think he is.

When you buy a game, you are buying a copy of the game to use as you see fit. At least that applies with physical retail copies of games. As long as you have that copy in your possession, NOBODY can take away that right. If that isn't the case (like if you're buying a digital download copy, or that the game is shipped with DRM that allows the developer/publisher to block you from playing the game) then you're being ripped off. Robbed in blind daylight.

I'll admit right now that on-line games with subscription payment methods are exempt from the above, but that's the only exception.

Games are already 'fake' good and not how the 'real world' works. You don't actually buy anything since you could just as well get the exact same thing (or possibly upgraded version) for free. There is no scarcity.

It should be in distributors' own best interest to try to maintain the semblance of actually selling (not renting, licensing or administering muggings) a physical product with just a "hey, no copy plx" clause attached.

And it should be in distributors'/devs' best interest to play fucking nice with people who are essentially giving them money out of sheer good will and anticipation that they may make/release something good in the future if they are well fed.

Trying to get the customer to pay fucking twice for the same game is neither.

Retards want to pay. Retards pay. Market rolls.

I mean even on the l33t h4rdc0r3 Codex we have retards who keep buying Obsidian's shit, not matter how bad it is just because only one of its dudes wrote some text 12 years ago.

And some retards here gave M&B devs money before the game was even ready. And it never left an alpha stage. They just slapped mocap on it. And morons even defend them after that.

All while bitching at "baaaww evil PR bullshitting faggots"

So... What's wrong DraQ?
