--- Quote from: razielleonhart on December 11, 2014, 07:40:42 PM ---this is also DLC not some guy or weapon --- End quote --- There's an interesting question - in what practical sense are old-style expansion packs different than modern DLC? I think the difference is one of scale. Something that doubles the size of the game, with many unique (IE, not-reused from the base game) elements, well, it's harder to argue that Brood War 'should have been part of the game'. Something that adds 3 costumes though... Although for all I know, the original plan for Starcraft was to release it as a 2-disc game, then they split it up to make more money. So it's a question of... intent? Is that what makes the difference, not amount of content? For me personally, it's the piecemeal nature of it that bothers me. Getting 5 DLC packs for 2 dollars apiece feels a lot more rip-off-ish than getting a single huge one for 10 dollars. |
