I am just downloading a 320 Mb Update to Duells of the Planeswalkers - Magic the Gathering on PC. It actually gives me nothing and it is only for those people that want to buy the DLCs.

So what are the DLCs?
Well, you unlock Cards in this game for every round won with a certain card deck. If you are extremely lazy you now can unlock a whole deck for 1 €. Great thing. It takes about 2 hours to unlock the cards and you learn the game by playing it. If you glitch it it takes about 20 minutes for a deck.
But there is another type of DLC. Premium foil cards. Yes they are shiny and they look nice. But then again it is just a skin and it changes NOTHING in the game. In total you could spent a whole 22€ on the DLCs that you do not need because they do not change anything in the game.

There were somewhat similar DLCs for Killing Floor - but then again they were totally different. In Killing Floor you can buy character skins for about 2 € a pack. Now that does not change anything in gameplay as well BUT - and here comes a huge BUT: What you pay for the DLC is put into the development of a free Update that all players will get. So with buying the DLC you make sure the developers keep on developing maps for this game and fix bugs and glitches because you give them the ressources.
To be honest that was the smartest DLC model I have ever seen! Compared to paying 15 € for old Modern Warfare Maps or DLCs that change nothing in the game...

We are gaming in times where developers rather make money from a DLC than boost their names and products with free updates. Cheers!

Expensive DLC is ruining what little respect I have for the game industry.
