Agreed. I don´t like at all this tendency of being charged for every little bonus or extra stage/character/etc that could have appeared in the game from the beginning…

I´m hoping to see a retail version of games that do this, which includes all the extras and it´s priced accordingly. I prefer that to spend money on all the extras separately.

Aside from that, this game looks great, as Get Even does. I should try the original Alien Crush sometime…

Customers do not consider downloadable content to be acceptable unless there’s some rights situation that, more or less, requires the extra fee (like extra songs in a music game) or it is an expansion feature substantial enough to be sold in its own box in the store. In all other cases, it looks exactly like you’re trying to fleece your customers. This feeling is doubled if the features are exceptionally minor (like extra ball types in a pinball game), and trebled if the “downloadable content” is just an unlock code for data already on the media/original download. (Yes, we know when you do this. We know.)

It’s true that we’ll pay it if there’s an extremely good feature for sale, but we are never happy about it. WE ARE NEVER HAPPY ABOUT IT. If you care at all what your customers think about you, as all entertainment companies should, then weigh carefully whether to make that extra feature added in during development DLC.

Sincerely,
Us
