Reader Discussion: How Do You Decide If DLC Is Right For You?
Earlier this week, Activision and Bungie announced the release date for Destiny’s first DLC pack. The Dark Below will feature some new gear, story missions, multiplayer maps, a strike (two on PlayStation platforms), and a new raid. That bundle will run you $20 (or $35 with the second pack included).
There’s likely to be a lot of discussion about the content, especially as it relates to Destiny’s story (or lack thereof, depending on your perspective). In combination with yesterday's Shadow of Mordor DLC news, we got to thinking about the different reasons why someone might decide to purchase DLC.
Are there any genres or series for which season passes and DLC are an immediate purchase? Do you tend toward multiplayer or single-player DLC over the other? Do you find yourself skipping DLC for titles you play when they release, or do you go back when new content is available?
We’re curious about your DLC purchase habits. Let us know what gets you to spend above and beyond the $60 price of entry.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
