I know, most industries realize that rental and used sales are inevitable, and don't complain about it.
Back to the DLC thing:
I am strongly opposed to all DLC, because it all boils down to a few reasons it exists:
The game was incomplete when it was released, so they are releasing the rest of it, and charging extra for it.
If I spend $60, I want a product that is complete, it is the same as buying a knife without a handle, still functional, but something is missing. Soon thereafter you go to a store and find that you can buy the handle, something that should have been included in the first place.
"Hurr durr I'm a multi-million dollar company, I need more money"
Sorry, I don't think I should be feeding the wallets of the rich when they decide they aren't rich enough.
Oftentimes, the content is already on the disk.
Of course I am going to be pissed off that you sell me a game, but I cannot access parts of it without paying more money. Especially when the content is already right there on my disk.
DLC has the potential to be one of the best things a game could have, but it is always executed poorly.
-It should be free, I've already payed way to much for the game.
-The effects should be substantial, not just a new level in Mario Kart or a new Ryu clone in Street Fighter.
-It should be bug free. So many DLCs have problems.
