Yeah DLC should be free, especially for a game that sells 20 million copies and then they want people to blow $30 on 8 maps, yeah right.

You'd be guessing wrong. Portal 2 SP and co-op is pretty awesome.



Then, why would the DLC be free :?

Counterstrike used to be free, but it also used to just be a HL Mod amoung countless others.

How is free DLC an indicator of a half done game? The only way that would be the case is if the game didnt sell well.

Why the Valve hate and why are you trying to spin freebies as a bad thing?

Well, the obvious only reason it's free is because Valve is shamful of its incompetance and has to seek retribution in giving consumers what they knew they should have had in the first place for free.

lolwut. You do realize they could've have worked on the DLC after they finished the game right? Hell they might not be finished with the DLC yet.

Great stuff, got the game last weekend and completed it and doing the co-op with a friend. More DLC for the co-op and extra levels is allways appriciated. Hopefully more publishers and developers will take note of this as it seems to give the Valve games legs (i.e. I got Orange Box on PC recently, as well as the Xbox 360 version at release, due to the support Team Fortress 2 got on the PC). Good times anyway. Cheers for the news topic creator.

Because Valve DLC is almost always free. The only DLC they charged for was 360 DLC. PC DLC has always been free.

he was just joking. I wouldn't doubt it if there are actually people up there that think that though. If they pay for something or more for something it must be better.

"Today the developer gave a few details on the DLC, most notably that it would be free of charge to all players."

The key word in this sentence is "all".

Free DLC rewards previous customers, attracts in new customers, and leaves the community happy. A current trend is taking content out of the finished game and charging ridiculous prices for it, meanwhile blocking the community from creating their own content with mods.

That doesn't mean it should be free. That might work for Valve, but it doesn't make it practical for others. You're not entitled to free content. I haven't seen any 'ridiculous' prices yet, outside 15 dollars for 3 maps ( others are perfectly willing to pay that much). If you don't like the price, don't buy it. It's a fairly simple concept. Who is blocking the community from creating their own content with mods?

uh...Valve does free DLC for all their games...



So then all their games are half-finished. I see... People have really been embelishing Valve's credability as a developer lately.

oh so now free dlc is a bad thing? jeez. I bet you didnt even play Portal 2.
