The Age of DLC

In this day and age, it’s not strange for games to continue developing content for games after their release. This is a strategy for companies to keep their players invested in their game and also bring in a little more cash at the same time. But at what point do we draw the line. Games these days already cost $60, which cost enough money as is. Why should we pay from $30 to $60 dollars for new content in a game, when the content you are paying for is never worth it. If I had to invest $60 dollars in something, I’d rather invest in a new game instead of investing in DLC that costs just as much but gives me significantly less content. I think this whole thing has gotten out of hand. The strategy of releasing new content for a game has been proven to work well, but these sales strategies are completely absurd. I personally believe that we, as consumers, need to convey our concerns to these major gaming companies. If we can address this strategy, we can bring about a new and improved age for gaming.
