I am not interested in buying games piece by piece.
I would be willing to buy an expansion to a Full game, but not bits and pieces of content, they are trying to apply the "hamburger Industry" standards on to gaming, "Want to super charge your Fries?"...it is ridiculous.
So now I check games thourougly before I buy them if I see that the core game is practically naked and you have to buy a bunch of DLC's there after, I simply look elsewhere, because it is a big world out there, and someone else may have made a similar game without the greed sauce.
BTW, DLC comes in direct Conflict with modding from a financial point of view, modders offer for free what the DLC is trying to offer for money.
