What's to criticize for having free content (ergo dlc) post launch?

Nice its cool too see all these early people enjoying the game.
This is smart marketing in today's times. People love to hear the word free regardless if content should have been there right away.
Sounds good. Is the minimal hud exclusive to the new difficulty mode, or will that be in at launch?
When even a thread about free goddamn DLC gets shit on...

Baseless cynicism is not an admirable trait.

Or maybe they're delivering a feature-complete, massive 30 hour open world game with 3 difficulty modes right out of the box, and are actually adding content to the game. Have you read any impressions that imply the game isn't feature-complete and that these additions are actually clearly core content that was cut from the game?

Haha that title should be for ot2. Freaker Friday for ot3
Nothing wrong with this FREE dlc later on. Everyone who's giving the devs and the game shit for doing so is just looking for something to be mad at.
Because it should be in the game already . The future content that has not been created/approved should be in the game day 1 no matter how complete the game is , no matter that the post launch support is free. Cause thats how game development works, right? We should shit on devs that support their games and give free stuff for FREE
Plans could have changed, but at one point at least it was planned as 3 story packs. They changed the final digital deluxe to not include these packs and have not officially announced the paid DLC plans.
Why should it have been here at launch? The game that is released already takes 60+ hours to 100%
Didn't read much complaining about the Grounded DLC for TLOU. Why here with this. Honestly the attitude around here towards some games has gotten increasingly pathetic as of late.
It's free added content that is downloadable. It's free DLC. It's not paid DLC. Reading comprehension is important. DLC isn't mandatory and it doesn't have to be something you have to pay for. If you're manually grabbing it out of the store it's downloadable content.
Like all the free DLC cdpr put out ON THE STORE, not in a patch, for players to grab.
Ignore the entitled whiny babies.
The irony is that some of these people will be the first to get outraged when there's a story about ridiculous inhumane crunch that some of these studios go through. They won't look in the mirror and realise that they are part of the problem.
Zelda team didn't handle that well, will give them a pass considering it's their first ever DLC for Zelda and the the value of the expansion pass was great but yeah that sucked.
I didn't know that the game was getting a stream of content. Thus, GaaS.
They were a team of 50 people building an
big open world game and brand new IP, on a brand new system, which they increased up to 130 staff over 5 years or more. Give the team a fucking break from your insesant nitpicking moaning. Your getting a full game. And the after stuff is a free bonus that they didn't just have the time to work on before obviously.
It's always the same old posters whining away as well.

Isnt GaaS when they charge you for endgame/ steady streamed content? This DLC and I think anything outside of new story missions are free. GaaS are games like Destiny, Anthem, Fortnite, Division etc
Nah, I see GaaS games as anything with content coming after release, like leaderboards etc. Anything to make a games lifespan longer. Most games are GaaS nowadays. I thought this was like God Of War, a one time deal.
Spiderman, Assassins Creed, Forza games etc. etc are GaaS
Its not a negative term, like most of era likes to use it.
i don't like all game doing this (but i buy them in the end)
i want my solo games to have zero anti consummer practice attempting to kill second hand market with content you can suspect could be there day one in a less greedy world.

Great! Days Gone is looking super good. Took the day off to see Endgame twice, Days Gone is just icing on the cake
That's not how any of this works at all lol.
Great to see some post launch content for for Days Gone. The challenges sound great for something to do after the main story.
That's one way to look at it. I just don't see why anyone would take issue with free post launch content.
They are choosing to make performance patches priority, which is always the right thing to do just like Santa Monica had to choose delay photomode to focus on performance.
Oh my god you are so so so wrong! And yes, GaaS is not derogatory, but it isn't such a broad blanket term as you are making it out to be.
Tell that to Nintendo who actually charge for this sort of thing (difficulty modes etc).
