So i am getting really sick of all the spam of DLC, WHY RELEASE 4 DLC PACKS AND NOT JUST 1 FOR 15?? Is it because by doing so you think your being overly cleaver tricking people into buying something that's not worth it? Because i got news for you, the only reason people spend stupid amounts of money on DLC and F2P is because people will spend money on entertainment when there is nothing better to do because everyone is in your, "i am a god of the industry" mind set, busy trying to make as much money as possible.
Don't get me wrong i am not one of those people who think spending $5 on a game is a waste of money, quite the opposite i see it as an investment, however i already payed for your game and now you think you can charge for what use to be know as a patch as DLC, if you cannot see the scrupulous nature involved with this i am not going to argue it too you because you have clearly already done the necessary mental gymnastics to justify it to yourselves.
Considering most of my childhood was playing worms, this makes me sad guys, very VERY sad and i am not trying to slander you at all, however you really need to put yourselves into your customers shoes THEN wonder why you don't sell as many game copy's when everyone knows there is going to be a time when DLC comes out and into the future a little bit more a complete pack is going to come waltzing on by at about 1/2 the price if i had supported your company from the get go and bought all of your content, and that brings me to my next point content.
At what point in recent history did DLC become popular? or more precise when did it become popular for game developers? After you all saw how much money someone like Bobby Kotick can make on a bad game like COD:MWF 2 and up did the industry go, "o look we don't need to cater to gamers any more gaming has become mainstream", but what i think you are forgetting is while yes it is true games have become very popular in the last few years it is only a matter of time before a new branch of Movie/game genera comes out and gamers will have there good games and the mainstream public will continue to follow what the people on the TV say is OK to do at the time.
I just really hope you don't think that by releasing worms and following the current trend that people are not going to remember in the near future and not support your company for previous "wrong doings" because the time will come when you wont get your money for your DLC :)
