How DLC works and why Destiny's DLC is not in the main game
Here's how DLC works. A software company making a game decides what the original game is going to be and how much stuff is going to be in it. They work on the game and once all the coding is done there is still a lot of other work to be done. Voice overs, music, advertisements, dialog, packaging. It's a lot of work that they don't need the programmers to do. So for the 3-6 months that the company has until the game is actually released there are two options. They can fire all of the programmers and then rehire new ones down the road when they need to create new content. Or instead they can have them start working on DLC. The programmers can't continue stuffing content into the original game because it needs to be tested and QA'd and it takes a lot of time. Therefore they work on new content which after being tested and QA'd is usually ready shortly after release. This method works great because if anything does come up with the original game they have the original programmers there to fix it quickly.
Would you prefer that they wait till after the game comes out and then start from scratch on DLC or would you rather have it shortly after release? Please note, a lot of Engineers get fired in the one scenario.
Sometimes the DLC is even ready before the original game is released. This doesn't mean that it is owed to you and should be in the original game. That's not how it works. You knew that there would be DLC and you knew that it wouldn't be in the original game.
Here is an Op-Ed from Ars Technica that goes into a bit more detail. It even covers on-disc dlc.
The part I recommend is the last section. "They should work on the main game first!"
I've also included the image from that section that includes a flow chart of game and dlc development.

If you would like to suggest a more improved system of game development I would be glad to listen. If your method could improve upon what is already in place I'm sure you would be a valuable asset in the industry. Not just for video games but software in general.

12 AntwortenReading this is f*cking laughable. Before i say anything, you're defending getting d*cked in the arse. "Sometimes the DLC is even ready before the original game is released. This doesn't mean that it is owed to you and should be in the original game. That's not how it works. You knew that there would be DLC and you knew that it wouldn't be in the original game" This should never be the case with any game, because why would the developers be working on future content when the original game isnt finished? The developers time should be spent on the vanilla game, not any add ons or dlc. If it is thats just a clear sign of them lubing up their fat cock to stick in your arse. You talk about the different phases of making a game, which we all know about and you're trying to defend them saying they needed more time? Or they didnt have enough time so made dlc to make up for it? No just f*ck off you don't have 4 years to develop a game and then say "they need more time" more time for what? To jack off to sales figures? They had 4 years!! Thats a lifetime in game development. If you try and say they sell dlc to make up for costs thats absolute bullsh*t because most of the money they soent was on marketing and hyping the game up so people couldn't wait to get their hands on it. This is what sold most of the copies of destiny i guarentee destiny wouldn't have sold nearly as many units if the marketing budget would have been chopped down to 1/4 of what it was. Lets take cod 6 for example. 50 million to make 150+ million on marketing. I cannot beleive you're trying to defend bungie/activision for blatently f*cking you.
