10 Biggest Consumer Complaints The Gaming Industry Doesn't Want To Fix

10. Cutting Out Content For DLC And Pre-Order Bonuses

It's incredible that this is still happening in 2018.

For as long as DLC has been a popular practise, publishers have been taking content from their games in order to sell it on to gullible players who want the full experience. If they aren't selling it on, they're trying to use it to make sure that players pre-order their game and essentially guarantee a sale.

The reason why this is unlikely to change is that it actually makes publishers a lot of money, and if the incentive is good enough it can actually boost sales quite a bit. One perfect example of this is Mass Effect 3's day-one DLC From Ashes which was very clearly cut out of the game.

Even so, it likely gained BioWare and EA a whole bunch of money from devoted fans, which means it's likely to keep happening for years to come.

This is a real shame, because it heavily reduces the relationship between players and publishers, especially when it gets more and more egregious. A costume or two is fine, but whole levels or characters shouldn't be taken away.
