Actually, yes. In such a competitive market they need to put out fresh content, otherwise people will move on to something else or trade it in. Then we get to hear the developers whine over how the used game market is killing the industry...

You bought the GAME. You paid £30 for it.
Then you expect them to do more work to keep you after you've already paid???
No. I'm sorry, but that's lunacy.
Developers already make crap amounts of cash for anything that isn't shovelware, you can't expect them to do more, and free content being given after the games major sales period is not going to help them in a competetive market, particularly considering it's only available to people who have ALREADY GIVEN THEM MONEY.
Sort of. It really doesn't take too long to make a map. And some of them just aren't that good.

You have no idea.
It take WEEKS to make a map. Honestly, multiplayer maps are bloody difficult to balance, deck out, optimise, test - It isn't simply a case of throw a few polygons in here - Maybe a wall here.
You realise these maps are not only a detailed 3d environment, but a balanced test of player skills?
I'm speaking from experience here. Try making maps, and you'll see the same thing.
Well, some of my favourite gametypes in Halo 3 require me to download the new map packs, but I will give you this because thats the only game that I can think of where it actually hampers your gameplay experience.

...Except that the only playlists that require paid-for content are DLC specific.
Aren't the rest for free maps?
Forgive me if I'm wrong, but a developer releasing FREE EXTRA CONTENT after you buy the game is not a bad thing in my book.
