They're doing the complete opposite: It's almost the same thing as a pre-order bonus, another part of the modern games industry that can die in a fire.



Nah, that was Rekky. I've never used my RS blog.
Nothing to be sorry about dude.

And it was Rekky, my mistake.

And to think the Bonus Edition would be....more of a bonus now that I think about it. XD

Look on the bright side. Better CE DLC than store exclusive preorder bonus DLC.

That's very true, but "Better" doesn't make it "Good".

What's wrong with pre order DLC? It means the people that buy the game new are rewarded and get something more than the people that love the game so much they buy it three months later off ebay for 8 quid from some unemployed guy called keith. And to be fair, they're still higher up the gaming karma ladder than the people that buy their games from CEX.
Tic Tac, sir?

Very true. I tent to buy new and pre-order quite often so it's not a personal problem and I understand why publishers do it, however, it means that those who can't or won't buy it on the day of release are locked out of certain content. It's not so bad with some content like character skins that don't change the game much and are a little added bonus for fans, but when it seems like you're locking away more substantial content such as characters, tracks, weapons, online modes etc then it starts getting a bit unfair.

Exactly. Well said.

Oh don't get me wrong, I'm definetly not going to complain to SEGA, they're giving us enough already with this game, I just hoped for Vectorman. But it doesn't matter much, I didn't know Vectorman was that big a deal to many SEGA fans. A lot goes into a game that I'm grateful for all the content that's on it.

Yeah I don't see why people would complain just because 1 character isn't in the game when there will be like 25 others to choose from

I agree as long as the DLC is at least available for purchase online later for those who couldn't buy it immediately at release, which usually seems to be the case.
