If I want DLC I tend to get it, the only time I was a bit "eh" was the price of Shivering Isles, but I got it when it was half price. Though I did buy horse armor at full price... (But I do think it makes the horses look great).

I don't see much point in buying DLC, only if i really like the game maybe.And ?7.99 for a few shitty maps,no thank ,i'm not gonna buy it because its to expensive.Yeah sometimes im stubborn like not watching just because its so popularly-bad or not buying a game for a year because they don't need anymore money than they have(e.g. activation),but never for DLC maps.I considered doing it for KZ2 and for non-multipayer games i sometimes buy the DLC because its good value you.But what pissed me off 'bout KZ was they released 3 map pack for 5.99 each and then released it again for only 10.99 ridicules.There really should be an other option.
This is why there should have downloadable mod maps on consoles(damn you Sony!!)

I don't buy a lot of DLC anymore, for I mostly play shooter games. Perhaps instead of map packs, they should just include them in the game? Anyway, I don't buy DLC often because they really should be free.
If I'm truely interested in the game, and the DLC, I'll most likely buy it.
I've spent WAAAY more than I probably should have on LittleBig Planet costumes.

Any DLC more than 1 cents is unfair. Make those dlc free! Otherwise the players who cannot purchase it will be left out and teased!. Look at Valve, Their Steamgames are doing it right ±D
Sometimes yes sometimes no. For example Black Ops: First Strike is smoking crack if they think I'm gonna shell out $15 for 4 freaking maps. However, AC:B priced the Da Vinci Disappearance at $10 and it contained good SP content, 4 new skins, new game modes, AND a map. That I bought and was happy with.
It's a poll, I have every right to answer honestly. no need to be snippy.GunstarHero said:
Yes, you're not hurting anyone by not buying their stuff, even a Lamborghini, and you are hurting yourself by not having a Lamborghini. Spending the money may hurt you more, but you not buying sure as heck isn't hurting Lamborghini. Also, DLC is quite a bit cheaper than a Lamborghini.
Yeah, it's called supply and demand. They know some people won't buy it at the price they set, but they also know that they would make less money if they sold it for cheaper, therefore not buying serves no purpose except you don't buy it. It doesn't hurt them any, that's all I was saying. No need to get all butt-hurt over me pointing out the obvious flaw in the logic.
BFBC2 Vietnam. Two reasons
1). They assumed that people would just be buying it so packaged it as part of one of their BFBC2 updates pushing what should have been an update of a couple of hundread meg up to a whooping 2gig. I have never downloaded a patch that has been 2 gig in size and I sure as hell ain't gonna download one that consist of content they assume I will be buying.
2). I said I would never buy any content from DICE as long as the game continued to use the ineffective Punkbuster anti cheat system. They gave themselves some leeway on this by actually banning a few hackers that I caught and reported but after about 4 months of the game being out they just plain stopped caring about the number of cheats the game had. That as well as patches that fixed one issue whilst messing up another meant I wasn't gonna waste any more cash on their software.

Mm-hm, and your post wasn't phrased in an inflammatory fashion?spartan231490 said:
The flaw in the logic? That a lost sale is lost revenue, directly resulting from unjustifiably high pricing? And from the looks of the poll, there's a pretty high proportion of people who have done the same.spartan231490 said:
Where I live we've had a few boutique shops appear over the years. Places selling reasonable furniture, but at silly high prices. They went for the 'if I sell one piece a week' logic that you've adopted. Screw the majority, we'll aim for the people who'll just pay what we ask.
They don't tend to last more than 6 months, because people get tired of being ripped off. They never learn that if you drop the price a little, and sell a few things a week you'll actually have some revenue, some customers, and some repeat business. Especially in this economy, where it's becoming less and less likely that a person can even afford a car, they're damn sure less likely to blow over the odds on a game's self-aggrandised DLC when there's a world of other games out there.
..And maps, gameplay types, continuous updates on both l4d and l4d2, engine fixes, bug fixes, added content for more variation.and stuff for many other games! They doing it rite.Ephraim J. Witchwood said:
Also, most of those hats look totally awesome.
The only DLC I've ever bought has been add-ons for Mass Effect 2 (because I love the story and universe and want to experience as much of it as possible) and the map packs for Halo 3 and Halo Reach (because I love the multiplayer and and want to expand the experience.)
Oh, there was Knothole Island for Fable 2 actually but...I don't like to talk about that.
