I really like the idea of being able to download/purchase future content for games and don’t even have a problem paying for it if it gives me more gameplay time. An example would be a full expansion like maybe for half life 2 where it is a fully developed game in itself.
What I really don’t like though is the idea that developers may end up holding back features and gameplay features from future games not because they run out of time but so they can try to sell those “pieces” after release. We all saw that the horse armor was probably developed before the game went retail (according to earlier screenshots) so it’s not like something that was developed after the game went retail. It would seem they held it back on purpose to make an extra buck (well two and a half actually). Sure it doesn’t make a huge difference in the game but the idea could turn into a bad bad game world for us. I know I don’t want to be “nickle and dimed” to death just to get a full game in the future.
Cliffs:
Paying for fully developed game expansions for more gameplay = good
Charging for features/items that should have been included in the retail game = bad
What’s next, charging for patches?
