Today, Bethesda finally took the wraps off of the long awaited Fallout 4 DLC plans. On the whole, there was a lot to be happy about.
If you bought Fallout 4 via the Epic Games Store, you may be unable to install the upcoming Fallout: London mod at launch.
Fallout: London will require you to own the game. Game Pass users, unlucky.
Fallout 4 modders have teamed up with legendary voice actor Wes Johnson to create a new mod for the game in the name of Alzheimer's research.
People love to make a big deal over nothing. I remember when Techland announced they were upping the price of the Season Pass, everyone cried and threw a fit. DLC got released, got very positive reviews and everyone is happy.
Aside from their Horse Armor stunt, Bethesda has proven they put very content filled quality DLC. I'm more than certain the DLC will be well worth the increased asking price if you're not able to pick it up before March 1st.
Very rarely do we get expansion packs these days. Most DLC is map packs, throwaway game modes, outfits etc. They already said the first expansion is bigger than any previous one they've done. And they've done some pretty massive expansions.
Well, you can buy the seasonpass for 30€ now... Buy it now and not over two weeks. It is not rocket science
"and we aren’t going to continue to give away $60 or more worth of DLC for $30"
Meanwhile at CD Projekt

If DLC packs weren't such a mystery to everybody, I don't think many would have a problem with a price increase knowing what they are getting into with it. I think the biggest issue with most developers DLC and season passes, is that gamers have no clue what is going to be included... And are left at the mercy of their $20-$30 investment and the whim of the developer, just how far they want to go with DLC.
Its why I always wait and see with DLC. If I see a developer making a good effort at giving gamers a bang for their buck, I have no problem giving them my money... but in no wsy, shape or form will I trust them and preorder a season pass. That doesnt give them any incentive to try, then we get stuff like horse armor and clothing.
CD Projekt Red is doing it right. Letting gamers know up front, that they are getting significant game expansions that further the story, add 20+ hours of gameplay and entirely new land masses. No guessing games with their content, which is the way it should be.
Why does dlc anymore remind me of gas prices over the years outside of the price drop here recently. The only difference is that gasoline is a necessity, and dlc for a game is not.
Companies will price gouge you anyway possible. example: Cable providers, gas companies, electric. Why should the gaming business be any different. GREED.
