The questionable decision is where the controversy begins, and Capcom even fired back against complaints stating that there was no difference between DLC and on-disc locked content outside of the delivery method.
They have since changed their stance, according to the company’s Senior VP Christian Svensson. Svensson has assured disgruntled followers that they “are being heard” by the company. Better yet, he confirmed that (while a few upcoming games will feature unlockable on-disc content) Capcom is “re-evaluating” the entire method in which they distribute additional content:
Some future games that are prepping to ship in the coming months from the dev, more specifically Dragon’s Dogma, will still include the immensely unpopular addition of on-disc paid content. Of course, all Capcom would be doing by changing up their DLC method is making it less obvious that they had additional content ready at launch.
I suppose it’s better than being forced to buy an entirely new game for a handful of additional characters though. Not that they’d try something that ridiculous.
How do you feel about the use of locked on-disc content? Is there ever a situation when the decision might make sense, or is this where you draw the line on micro-transactions?
