Specially since I don't usually replay content. That remains your choice. It's a pretty sensible choice, generally speaking, but if it causes you this much distress, perhaps not. Master_Magnus posted... A game that is incomplete but you can't complete because they don't make DLC for that version is not enjoyable. If a game doesn't feel like it's missing anything, then it's complete. Any further content is merely a bonus. Master_Magnus posted... It's them who lock DLC behind a port. It's them who charge me $60 for 3 hours of content. It's them who are unreasonable and want to make people like me who want complete games to waste a fortune on stuff that you don't want to get stuff that you want. They want to make it natural for people to double dip on games so you spend $120 on a $60 game. They are unreasonable ones. Do you think adding new content to the original version is a free process? It takes roughly as much work as adding it to the port, but with a tiny fraction of the return. You really want to say that it's unreasonable not to do that? Master_Magnus posted... For decades I bought games once, only once and never missed any DLC. If you want to ignore multiple examples of that happening in every decade since home gaming has been a significant thing, sure. Ignoring empirical reality for the sake of pissing yourself off more is rarely a very healthy idea, though. Master_Magnus posted... It's absurd that I can't get DLC for any game I already own. Not remotely. If the copy you own is on a platform that no longer sees active support, there's absolutely no reason to expect developers to put work into developing content for that version. That's just not a sensible use of resources. Master_Magnus posted... Nintendo sold the Wii U with the promise of great exclusives Which they delivered. The WiiU had plenty of great games that weren't available on any other system - exclusives. Then it died, and some of those old exclusives have been ported to the Switch so a wider audience can enjoy them. I don't know why you seem to think that more people enjoying games is a bad thing, especially when it means that the studios that produced said games are more capable of continuing to produce the games you enjoyed playing. Master_Magnus posted... Console makers that make a failed system shouldn't be able to remain in the console biz. Says who? Again, this is not a matter of pride or honour or following "rules" or any nonsense like that. Anyone that is able to afford to make and sell consoles can make and sell consoles. The bottom line is the only thing that dictates that, not some arbitrary notion of who "deserves" to sell stuff. --- This is my signature.
