DLC is quite an interesting topic to discuss, not only in regards to Destiny, but gaming in general. I feel like DLC has changed so much, so quickly, over just the past few years. I mean, I remember the days when you never expected DLC, balancing changes, or network updates. The game you bought was the game you got, and that's it! Nothing more. No changes, no additions, nothing. In hindsight, how amazing was Halo: CE for not having DLC and still having the lasting power and awesome multiplayer AT ORIGINAL RELEASE, and never getting updates or balance tweaks??? I guess that's what Halo 2 was for... they had to release an entirely new game! LoL I remember when DLC started gaining ground. You never knew if a game was going to have DLC or not. Some did, some didn't. There was a lot of questions like: Will that game you just bought have additions in a couple months? Will I still be playing it? Will other people still be playing it? How do they decide if a game gets extra content? Popularity? Longevity? Do they plan it before release or are they already working on it when a game is released? Does that mean the game isn't finished? How much will it cost? Is it worth it? There were definitely some growing pains and some of those pains are still lingering even today. I guess some of those questions have been answered. Pretty much ALL games have DLC now, especially big titles, and they are definitely working on it and planning for it before the game is released. I think one of the main reasons DLC seems like a money grab for developers/publishers and why we have this lingering feeling in the back of our minds that games are released "unfinished" is because our view of how games used to be final when released and how DLC has evolved over time. Now, look at Titanfall. Perfect example. When it shipped, it was just a bare bones online shooter but very fun, some would say revolutionary. A few game modes, online only, campaign/story lacking, only about 10 maps or so. Look at it now: more game modes, more cusomization, balance tweaks, regular game updates, burn card additions, the black market, and 3 DLC packs later.... the game has evolved a lot. I think that's the trend now and how games many games will be in this generation. Everything except the maps were free so you got the core of the game, all the updates, a bunch of free stuff, but the extra maps were optional if you wanted them. I think that's how DLC should be. The season pass idea I'm on the fence about. For games I know I'm going to play for a long time and I know I will like, I do like that the season pass gives me discounts on the content I was going to buy anyway, but at the same time, I know that means the game was shipped "unfinished" because that content was planned all along. Why don't they just push back the release date, finish that content, and include it in the game? As you can see, I have a love/hate/conflicting relationship with DLC... kind of like my relationship with my family, hahaha. We will see how the DLC of Destiny turns out to be. IF it truly is extending and "completing" a shortened story, then that's a problem. IF it is just adding more content for the people who want it and are still enjoying the game, making it optional to purchase, that's how it should be. Personally, I don't feel like Destiny is unfinished or cut short as is. It feels like a complete game to me, so I'm not too upset about the DLC at this point. IF someone already feels like Destiny isn't enough for them as is (even though it has already changed since release, which would NEVER have happend a few years ago), then I can see how the DLC would tick them off, but that's just all personal preference and opinion.

yup, satisfaction with the purchase is the most important thing....and I loved wreckin mofos in Iron Banner last night
