Oddworld and Day One DLC
In the wake of Evolve's DLC there seems to be quite a movement against day one DLCs and, a lot of discussion of how to approach DLC in general, and a pretty big anti-preorder movement. I wonder if anyone at JAW or OWI have been reading this discussion.
Reading these various threads this practice has turned A LOT of people off the game (as far as online communities are concerned). In my opinion Alf's Escape seems like a very fair DLC package. Although, considering these ports are coming out 7 months after the initial release there might be an expectation to include it as one entire package. The argument can be made that it's fair since PS4 costumers had to pay for it but the argument can also be made that they didn't have to wait 7 months and the DLC wasn't finished upon release.
Am I right that I heard there was going to be a 10% pre-purchase discount? If so that seems like a pretty great incentive in the pre-order business.
The Scrub Outfit, however, seems exactly like the sort of pre-orders and DLC people are railing against. Maybe it would be better to include it in the main game?
