I guess I didnt really mean unfinished. But it is better...

It's a distinction that comes up a lot in talking about DLC. There are a lot of people that feel that the mere existence of DLC means that the base game is unfinished, or otherwise not a complete game, and that the only way to have a complete game is to buy all of the content. I've never liked that attitude. There are plenty of games out there with DLC that are perfectly satisfactory experiences on their own, without buying the DLC, and lumping them in with games that have actually been carved up for the sake of selling the rest of the game back to us (which there are also plenty of examples of) is extremely unfair to those that are doing DLC right. As a concept, DLC is great. It gives people the option to buy more content for games they like well enough to want more of, and I think it's important to keep the focus on the studios that do it wrong instead of blaming the concept as a whole and damaging those that do it right.

Basically:
Good DLC: 1+0.2=1.2
Bad DLC: 0.8+0.2=1
