DLC is for the most part fine, so long as developers are invented the money from sales or projected sales to create more quality content. The real problem begins with companies work on DLC alongside the main title just so it can be sold separately shortly following release.

Even worse is the case of Street Fighter X Tekken, which hid a ton of characters on the disc and then charged to unlock them. The work had already been done, the fighters were complete and just needed a code to unlock them. It absolutely panged of greed.

The devs said it was for ease of access, but to many it was a slap in the face that could have been avoided if it was just hidden from the player.
