Post DLC done wrong
This, in my opinion, is an example of people using DLC in a way that will make people hate the whole concept.

Just Cause 2: Black Market Aerial Pack DLC
With the Black Market Aerial Pack you get these cool items:

* F-33 DragonFly Jet Fighter: With quad-mounted miniguns and double missile launchers, this agile bird is the definite ruler of the skies, and packs a serious punch to land based targets as well.
* Dual Parachute Thrusters: Take to the air for longer! The Dual Parachute Thrusters when mounted to the parachute rig provides bursts of forward momentum to extend airtime.
* Multi-lock Missile Launcher: This highly sophisticated weapon of destruction allows you to lock up to four targets and unleash a barrage of homing missiles to take care of all your troubles.


Price: $1.99

They want you to shell out $2 for 3 virtual items? Holy overvalued download batman! Shit like this should be free. If someone's going to pay money, you better give them a real reason.

hah...yea, selling a virtual pet is horrible too. :roll:

Now, something I am ok with is having things you can earn in a game (harmless shit like pets) that you can also buy in a store for $$$. The shit happens anyway on ebay, so I don't mind the publisher getting the cash instead of some chinese gaming sweatshop. However, if you can buy shit to overpower yourself, or if the only way to get some "special" pet is via a store and additional $$$$... LAMEZ0r.
