Wasn't there a big stink about some company releasing DLC for stuff that was already on disc, just not available for use? If I'm remembering correctly, that's bull.

Secondly, I'm starting to feel like it gives developers an excuse to not give as much content on disc before DLC was prevalent. I love the idea of DLC, it keeps me going back and playing games that would otherwise have been shelved, but it just feels like it's being abused.

A specific case that pissed me off was the DLC for Gears of War 2. They released a number of map packs before releasing the DLC with the extra campaign levels which also contained new maps, the deal though was that if you didn't buy the other map packs it came with all the levels at a discounted price. It really pissed me off because the new levels didn't even come up that much in online play.
