Knots instantly formed in my stomach the first time I read the words “downloadable content” in relation to Nintendo. My younger self was screaming about robbing the world of the joys of unlocking content by playing the game instead of whipping out your credit card. Doomsday theories started forming in my mind about the terrible sort of DLC exploitation I might see down the line. It’s been quite a while since that moment and none of those fears have come to pass. Frankly, I feel like they’ve done a good job of approaching the situation in a positive way that has thus far benefitted customers.
