Theory: Why DLC costs $ after 2 weeks : Othor Games

» Fri Jul 29, 2011 11:14 am

In order for DLC to have achievments added to it on XBL it has to cost money. I do believe thats the excuse that L4D had for having the DLC cost money on the 360 and not the PC. :spotted owl:

That's my Theory to why the DLC costs money.

(Although I'd rather have no achievements added and have the DLC free forever...)

....nooo......... :facepalm:

That is not why.... I might explain why it costs money but.... you have your theory.....

Well there still is the issue with Achievements being added on the 360 and having to cost money. So in order for it to be free, it would have to have no Achievements...

Sounds reasonable to me...

Theory: SD and Bethesda are businesses designed to make money.

Riddle me this: If for it to be free, it could not have achievements. Then why did the free co-op DLC for Red Dead Redemption have achievements?

It's because Bethesda wants to try and recoup some of it's losses on this game.

my thoughts exactly yeah just want money UR3 had free add-on's with trophy's and a co-op 4 new maps and mods did it 3 weeks after the game came out. . . brink no where to be seen
