Read the article from Venture beat and to me, it sounded like googly eyed reporter asking weak questions. I preferred the one from PC Gamer that I posted.

Wow Vamphaery, that's really deep. The way I see it, the big companies have lost sight and are looking to nickle and dime the consumer with DLC. If the content has merit, say like Entrenchment and Diplomacy. Then I will buy it which I did with the examples. I know it's a business but it shouldn't deceive the consumer.
