Read that article and see what you think. I personally don't see it as something bad. Some examples I gave on a video talking about are as such. 1. If there is a game with stealth and run and gun styles of gameplay and gamestop has stealth mission dlc while say amazon has dlc that focuses on the run and gun, you can choose which one you would prefer to have. In retrospect to a lot of complaints I've seen about how there shouldn't be exclusives for games, movies have been doing it for a while now. Some offer exclusive behind the scenes discs, or steelbooks or whatever have you and no one seems to care because they can find what they want at whatever store has it. I wanna know what everyone else thinks.

I feel like this is just another way to get more money. What you said about us having a choice to pick which mission we prefer was something we already had. We probably get those two missions already but if they can find a way to give us less content for more money you bet your ass they are going to find a way. All of these things were once given to us in the game. For example in a fighting game we got 50 playable characters each having 3 costumes all in one game but now 20 of those characters would be playable and we would have to pay $2.99 for each other character and instead of 3 costumes we get 1 and the others would have to be payed for. The worst part is that many people embrace this and don't care. We still pre order even though they give us a game that's not even 50% done. With movies it's different because with me I just wanna watch the movie and I really don't care for deleted scenes or behind the scenes, they are just a bonus but with games those companies are taking away things I already had before and now they are selling it to me. I guess that's how this whole situation.
