Good or bad? It is hard to complain about free DLC. Free DLC exists. They're awesome.

I hate the entire idea of paid DLC

If you want that shit in the game, then how about you put it in there before releasing the damn thing?

It's all a money grab.

I'm not paying $60 for a new game and then spending $20 a pop on some stupid add-ons that really don't add anything gamechanging.

Probably the only way it can bad is if you don't have internet.

@GameboyTroy: Either way it's a win-win situation. If dlcs aren't free then you'll have to buy them with or without internet access.

Is it because of games being unfinished on release day?

@GameboyTroy: Nah. I was just imitating the doom and gloom of a few around here, and the silliness of the topic.

free dlc is good, nothing wrong with it, paid dlc however....

the idea behind dlc was good, they made content and you paid a fraction of what an expansion would cost, but of course greedy companies abused of it and now it's a cancer on gaming

Free DLC should be the only kind of DLC for a full price game.

Expansions and stand alone games like blood dragon are great, though.

FREE DLC doesn't exist... devs. may push through some unpaid content at a later date, but it is always accounted for... If you are receiving "free DLC" then you didn't get a finished product in the first place. I am tired of all the incomplete games being pushed on us, and I find it sickening that it has become the norm these days to do so. Paid DLC on the other hand is usually content that was worked on AFTER the completion of the game. You aren't getting much content for "free" unless you are already playing a game with a subscription fee, a FTP game, or the game is still in Alpha, Beta, or Early Access.

Indeed. I'll gladly pay for worthwhile expansions, if the game I bought left me wanting more. Nowadays it seems like developers make a game, then decide what they want to chop off and sell you as separate DLC, that's the wrong way to do it.
