   So I just looked at the Steam sale. Normally I don't mind spending 20 euros total on a game, on sale, if it means getting all the DLC thrown in on top.

   Normally I'm not much for DLC, so I usually leave it for sales, and I was thinking this would be a great time to get the DLC for Saints Row the Third.

   Then you take a look at the page. With most of the DLC 33% off: 30 euros.

   Most of that is for something as basic as skins and weapons. Things that modders would normally do for any game that allows it.

   My response to that is: Fuck you THQ, I'll buy DLC for some other game instead.

   There's really nothing random about that company doing as poorly as it is. Who on earth is going to buy those measly trinkets for a million billion euros? Or thirty, as it were...

   It's better value to buy the Franchise Pack than to buy the dlc right now.

   Oh right! I didn't actually see that. That's 5 euros worth of damage mitigated, but really.. THQ are repeat offenders at this sort of thing.

   First they release a game, then they completely slam it with 40-50 euros worth of DLC, that is not ever going to be worth the first 20.

   For someone like me who's already grumpy about DLC, that's exactly why. You get less, and pay more.

   If I'm going to spend 20 euros on DLC alone, then it has to add some kind of actual length to the game, like an episode or something. Asking this much for silly little trinkets is just crazy.

   Space Marine has 20 euros worth of junk with 33% off (double the price of the game). Retribution has 38 euros worth (roughly three times the price of the game).
