You are talking about what companies now do but Nintendo is a tiny toddler in the DLC business right now and the bad practises are starting up rather quickly. What I am saying is that charging $60 for a game and then charging another $60 for very little content is bad. I personally don't care what other companies do because what they are doing is bad. What I don't want is Nintendo to go down that route which is already is. We have seen Day one DLC, we have seen Expensive DLC twice now, in game purchases and with doing some research on the Fire Emblem DLC, we have pay to win DLC with how you can get a bunch of rewards to power up your heroes and such.

Also, the subscription fees are not the developers, they are the platform owners doing. The season passes would be fine if more DLC comes where the content is actually worth it. For example, Hyrule Warriors though I wonder how much more DLC is coming, the current stuff is worth it. But DLC overall where it is atrociously priced like it is in Smash and Fire Emblem (plus other games outside of Nintendo of course) Then that is horrible and I try to buy as little as possible because of just how much it is.

Then we have the Amiibo which are basically like an on disc DLC that is locked from the moment you buy the game. Sure you get a cool figure and you can use them for multiple games (which could actually be worse) but you will need to go and buy that figure to access the content on the disc. For games that use multiple Amiibo, you are stuck needing multiple Amiibo for that one game. Now, here is the biggest problem. If you cannot get that Amiibo you need, that content is locked forever. You are stuck with having disc locked content that you will never be able to unlock unless you want to pay a bunch more to some random dude making a profit.

Also, just so you know, complaining about the price of DLC and then buying it, that does not make you a hypocrite. Telling others not to buy it then buying it would. Sometimes, we are stuck paying the price for what we want so we usually end up compromising with only buying parts of it but still feeling annoyed that we paid that much. We are just the people who end up getting suckered into it without any other choice on the matter. But at the same time, eventually, we'd probably get fed up and stop buying it. This is why I don't buy Amiibo any more.

It is all about content though. We are paying almost the cost of the game now for Smash with very little content. Some content which is local only. You paid $60 for the game and get very little for another $50 or so. Let's put this into perspective. If you had to pay the DLC price for each character, you'd end up spending nearly $220 for just the characters along and then if we add the stages another ~$130. So.. think about that for a minute, if they priced just all the characters and the stages the way they do the DLC then for everything... you'd be spending close to $350? And that would even include the other stuff. I'm sorry but that spells out something wrong here. Sure, it is extra work and maybe be priced a bt higher since it is not this big bundle bit overall, for that much of a difference, there is a big problem.

@shani @Sir_JBizzle (Sir_JBizzle this is mostly directed at shani but some points are for you as well and my post is getting long)

If you go and just break up stuff saying it doesn't matter because it is old, then that is your opinion because with this logic, you can draw it anywhere and then say it isn't a reshash. But that is a load of bull. The NES and SNES games are perfectly valid because Nintendo still follows those practices today. You have it saying I can't claim a game that is a cross platform but why not? Where would it go? It is still a Zelda game and it was still released. The fact that you brought up MM being made in a year proves my point even more. Then you also talk about Galaxy 1&2 being "multiple versions". What a load of crap. Seriously, that is what re-hashing is and you are just making exceptions to say "Oh, core releases" which you know it is a bunch of bull. As for Hyrule Warriors, yes, I have played it, I own it but it still doesn't change the fact that Nintendo, threw the Zelda thing in there instead of coming up with something more original because that's what Nintendo does. Remember the talk with Splatoon? It almost became a Mario game. Why? Because Nintendo can't think of anything half the time except for their old franchises. Luigi U is also not just a DLC as they gave it a physical release making it it's own game, just at a $30 value. They will take the name and reuse it over and over and over just like other companies just making the game games over and over. Sure, it is a bit different but the concept is the same. You guys talk about freshness as as it only being the core game which is a terrible way to look at it because it a shallow in thought. Nintendo uses the same franchises more often than these companies that do yearly releases. Such, the game might be different whether it be baseball, paintball, soccer, minigames,punching bags, racing or whatever. But they are just so overused it is ridiculous. Even now, it is like they are burned out of ideas so now we are getting a bunch of remakes. If you just continue to ignore all these and say it doesn't count then your points are basically becoming invalid because now you are letting one company get away with something while denouncing another for doing the same or similar or following a similar concept.
