Posted February 26, 2015 Every gamer will know that DLC has kind of gotten out of hand lately. However, Ubisoft Brazil is telling people not to complain about it. Ubisoft Brazil held a Q&A session on YouTube the other day. In the 3 minute mark of the video, a question was asked as to why Ubisoft keeps charging for DLC and expansions. The person wanted to know why games are not shipped as a complete package anymore. A NeoGAF user translated Ubisoft Brazil’s response and it’s not pretty: “Don’t be complainers. Try to understand this stuff. Here’s the deal, there is two things, one is the DLC that is a small amount of content that enables you to use some new guns, skins etc. This is usually to personalize the game to those who want. The other is the expansion, what is an expansion? Well, it’s an expansion. It enlarge the game. This is not necessary for the game. The game is always delivered complete to you guys, we guarantee. All the expansions that we deliver has more things that we spent more time of the team developing. You like the game? Want more? You don’t need to wait for the next game, there is an expansion with more adventure, more content, more everything. Just stop complaining. Really, guys. This comes from me not directly from Ubisoft, just stop complaining about everything. Wait for a moment, think about what you’re going to say… We develop fun, but this is a business. Stop and think about it, we develop fun, if we invest more time and money to it, our team needs to get paid” Many gamers disagree with Ubisoft Brazil’s stance on DLC. The video in question has nearly 20,000 dislikes with only over 1000 likes. No matter what publishers say, gamers still feel that DLC is too excessive these days. Update: The video in question got removed shortly after this got published. I managed to view it as the channel really was from Ubisoft Brazil.Source: http://attackofthefanboy.com/news/ubisoft-brazil-tells-people-not-complain-dlc/Reupload of the video: (You can turn on the english legend)Well... I think that first day DLC shouldn't even exit, I bought the game, I don't want to beat the game and still can't be able to get that beautifull armor just because I didn't spend $20 on a DLC... =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted February 26, 2015 The problem is not DLC in general, it's day one DLC that is the biggest problem. If a company wants to add more to the game after it is already out and charge for I think that is ok. i don't think it's ok to take part of the game on day one and charge extra money for it.

Posted February 26, 2015 If they release DLC every other week... That's bad. But the way EA has handled that with BF4 (About 3 months apart I believe) its very nice. Buy premium and you'll get a nice discount as well. Awesome Wallpapers made by yours truly! | TECH THEMED WALLPAPERS! What happened to your profile picture and who is this Tanku Neko guy?

Posted February 26, 2015 I don't mind DLC done right, like what's done with Battlefield. DLC released, well, the same day as the title is kinda shitty. if you have to insist you think for yourself, i'm not going to believe you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted February 26, 2015 DLC in itself is not a problem, and I agree with him completely. It's the implementation and type of DLC some people have problems with. But that is ll subjective. I peronally don't mind them. What are the content creators supposed to do, when story/content development is finished, and the game is still months from release? As for day 1 dlc. The fact is that people don't care about DLC half a year after original game release. People want more content the second the main game has been beaten.

Posted February 27, 2015 If the game is complete when it is shipped, then there should be no plans for DLC until the game is shipped and the game game should be optimized and not riddled with bugs. This is hardly the case today. We get DLC announcements before the game is shipped. THAT IS NOT A COMPLETE GAME! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted February 27, 2015 FYI two games that do/did DLC properly - bioshock Infinite and Euro Truck Driving Simulator 2. Both have developer teams dedicated to expanding the game. Not new aesthetics or any of that bullshit (which takes 5 minutes to code) but ENTIRELY NEW levels with new voice actors (int he case of bioshock) brand new textures, brand new everything. So they deserve to get paid for all the extra work they've done. Burial at Sea was entirely worthy of my money as far as i'm concerned. So is "Going East!" which DOUBLES the existing ETS 2 map. How is that not worthy of my money? They're now working on Finland and Sweden in their "scandinavia" DLC and it looks amazing - because it's ENTIRELY NEW and nothing like we've seen yet. This shit that ubisoft does is appauling. They're not expansions - they're simply copying and pasting existing textures, existing terrains and sliiiiiiightly customizing them. They do no work at all and then expect us to pay through the arse for it? If you could have done so little effort for this crap then put it in the game to begin with ffs instead of fooling your customers.

Posted February 27, 2015 Shocking news: Ubisoft said something disgusting and hostile to gamers This has never ever ever ever ever ever ever happened before TL;DR Ubisoft are the bitch mother of DLC, always-on DRM, failure to optimize, over-enfranchisement, microtransactions in already $60 games, 1-year squirty development cycles, buying and killing franchises, sequelitis and disrespect towards PC gamers. They are actually evil, as absurd as that may sound to call a company of the real world. Still, they are not as evil as the people who buy their games.

Buy premium and you'll get a nice discount as well. The premium system isn't handled very well. Considering we payed like for the game, they still leave out none premium users from cool events, double xp and even developing a map. I think it's a little unfair for those that really like the game but the price of premium just isn't worth it for them. imo. Computing enthusiast.

Posted February 27, 2015 My problem is with your DLC, I like the DLC of borderlands 2 the most awesome DLC I have ever seen, doesn't take away from the game experience, if you liked the game you can play more, the DLC is actually good. ﷲ Muslim Member ﷲ KennyS and ScreaM are my role models in CSGO.

Posted February 27, 2015 I'll say this. I don't mind DLC. When I do mind is when it gets out of hand. Having maybe 4 expansion packs for a game that add a decent amount of content priced at 15$ each? I got no problem with that. It's reasonable, at least to me. Oh, and launch day DLC is an absolute no-no. Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
