Assuming that the DLC was created by a separate team on a separate budget, but then why not just work on the game as a whole?

This, and the cancellation of Megaman Legends 3 has put me on the path of never buying a Capcom title ever again. Maybe if Capcom stops being idiots, but that's a real stretch now isn't it?

Compare to BlazBlue CS2: Extend, another fighting game.
Price of disk: $40
Fourth game in the series
Comes with all previous DLC characters for free
All of the original story + offline modes
Better online and training modes
I'd buy your games if you had any idea how to sell them, Capcom.

On the disk until they're unlocked or downloaded it's really all the same Fully priced games taking the free to play or freemium model pay for features model while still charging a full price Because some people will pay the same for an inferior products and others won't mind paying more the rest

Basically companies such as capcom and EA refer to us as crackheads. This is what these "Great companies" think of you. Stop buying extra copies of a game you don't want because a dev says he does not get paid enough on a blog, Stop supporting companies who force rip-off DLC and passes. SELF CONTROL

To those of you who hate the on-disk content and yearly updates BUT STILL continue to throw your money at capcom PLEASE stop supporting this sad excuse of a company and the death of non-microtransaction based console gaming. Publishers call major DLC purchasers "Whales" at business summits.

It does not matter if the whole game is just an extended F2P game with a 60$ price tag. MLG players and non-tech news following gamers will still buy this shit up anyway. If stuff like this on-disk shit pisses you off stop being a tool and stop supporting companies who love scamming customers

Fighting games are not 'button mashers' - the scene has become popular enough that it is now part of MLG. There is strategy and technique involved in these titles and it takes huge practice to become good at them. I know too many of you are 'screw console games at all costs' and 'FPS for life' tho

This is how Capcom sees DLC: It's the same thing as how they'd put additional characters on arcade cabinets but not let the player use them until a timer expires. Putting them on the disc removes the need to compartmentalise the game code to allow for swappable DLC modules.
Runic

If they want to get more money for their product, that is perfectly fine. it is their choice. At least have the balls to demand the cost for the full product up front rather then this "lock your disk" bullshit that shows they are designing towards DLC rather then a complete product
Runic

Why does this seem to remind me of phones that have all sorts of extras built right in that you have to pay to unlock.
I've heard people compare this to unlocking channels on cable, but there is a difference between a subscription to puts off the cost and being locked out of a product you bought.

Budget game-publishers used to pull this scam, too--put 5 titles on a disc, but only allow you to install one (via encryption and a password on a slip of paper in the box), demanding you pay for slips of paper with passwords for the others. These companies are rightfully not in business anymore...

This DLC that comes shipped on the 1.0 version of the disk just pisses me off. I bought the content, why can't I use it? Shuma-Gorath was shipped on the 1.0 version of MvC3 as well as some unfinished Jill models. You still had to shell out to buy them.

Well if you buy a game and it is on disc you already own everything on the disc. This is why pc gamers have advantage, can't brick someones pc for fixing a error on disc locking the content out. DLC is fine as long as you download it but on disc is buying cake and paying extra to eat it.

I saw this video somewhere where this lawyer talks about hacking discs. Legally, you are allowed to do this to your own disc since you own the physical disc itself, thus anything in it is yours. The publisher's lawyers may bitch and whine about it, but they have no legal grounds to sue you.
