Ok well let me explain what is bothering me. PC players are penalized with lack of content compared to the console. Why can't we get all the cool DLC for GTA 4? I am glad that PC still has computer only games but they are getting pretty rare. COD 6 penalizes PC players with a crappy port of a game that could have been good. Another point is that yea games are still coming out for PC but cut it by 1/3 if you compare this to consoles. What happened to NHL/NFL on PC what do people on computers don't like sports? Guys try understanding my opinion on this topic.
One thing I am truly glad is the PC community which always creates new content for games like Fallout 3 and Dragon Age.
I'm glad that the DLC scam is much less prominent on PC. It's a horrible pricing model which is more and more being rebelled against from all sides.
Doubly so because too often DLC's are things which should be features: like player progression in Madden, or proper scouting in NCAA Football, or a banking system in Dragon Age.
These are things which should have been in the game in the first place, and companies want an extra $10 for them.
PC Gamer this month had a very good talk about the movement against DLC's and the scam they represent.
Well I have been reading this 360 magazine where it's announcing loads of games for 2010 and lots of DLC. None of this is happening for the PC which makes me think, why should we spend money on new hardware knowing that gaming on the PC is slowly fading away. Why should I spend 300 bucks on the latest video card knowing it won't give me any benefits in a couple of years? Computers pack more punch than a PS3 on steroids so why don't we get Final Fantasy games and and all the promising console titles. It really ****es me off to see that the 360 and PS3 are getting a kick ass episode for Resident evil 5 while people who bought it on the PC are left with a big hole to drop in.
i really don't see pc gaming going on the decline anytime soon. doom and gloom for the pc has been forcasted for a very long time and inspite of that 2 million copies of ME2 were sold within a week.
Ok well let me cross my fingers in hope that I won't see Diablo 3 on the 360 anytime soon.
its good to be an optimist inspite of all odds.

DLC is like everything else on the internet, you have to wade through all the garbage and filth to find the gems.
Rockstar's GTA IV DLC (which is coming to PC and PS3 now) is definitely one of those worthwhile downloads. You get a whole campaign, more weapons, more vehicles, even online modes for 1600 points I think it was.
The Forza DLCs are really good too. 400 points for 10 cars. If you've seen what goes into modeling a car for that game you'll gladly pay that, assuming the cars in the pack interest you.
In the end, it's the gamers fault that there are crappy DLCs available. If they suck, don't buy them, then the developers will get the message and put some effort in next time. It's a business like any other, the company is going to make the things that people will buy, if no one buys they won't make.
