Make all DLC free

[ghighi]

What's the point of making DLC's more expensive than the game itself if you can just download any of all the mods? This is complete madness. Who would ever pay for any DLC?
Is is mentally challenged people exploitating?

DLC is what keeps the game alive. Plus it costs money to make DLC, so they'll never be free.

With that said, as you said, you can just use workshop for free.

horrible take

I guess we must be mentally challenged people, though I wonder about the exploiting since we exploit the game for lots of hours of fun, and headache.

Lots of us have paid for the dlcs. Some in appreciation of the wonderful game they've provided us with, and some to provide funds for CS2. Some have even paid for workshop items to show appreciation.

I have Parklife and that was free a year or so ago. It does happen.

Lots of people do buy the DLCs. You are not obliged to pay for any of them.

There are some DLCs that do not add anything that you cannot take from the Workshop or other sources - i.e. content packs and radio packs. These are low bang for the buck, but I do suppose they could be useful for console players.

And then you have DLCs that add content that cannot be added in through mods.

Can you use monorails without Mass Transit or streetcars without Snowfall?

Wait for a sale if you do not want to pay the full price.

Also, do you honestly think the developers would work developing free content for 5 years just living off the base game? You seem to have little understanding of how basic economics work.

Fair enough DLC cost money, but damn they should lower the cost

You missed it last month, it was $20 for the whole game, except Airports DLCs.

The workshop offers a ton of great mods/assets, however, it does not replace the DLC. You can have an airport without the DLC but nothing nearly as detailed and modular as the Airport DLC. You can have parks, however, nothing nearly as detailed or nearly the customization as the Park Life DLC, etc.

Honestly, the cost of the DLC (whether you wait on deals or use a site like InstantGaming) is not expensive. I get that not everyone wants the DLC, but to say that anyone paying for DLC is "mentally challenged" is ridiculous.

I'm wondering if you even understand what the DLC for this game consists of because it doesn't seem like you do.

I honestly wonder if some people expect just that to happen. I mean, compared to a lot of other big name games, the DLC for CS is inexpensive for what most of the DLC gives you.

No game is perfect and the same is true for developers, but in my experience the CS developers are some of the most tuned in to their customer base in the business. They launched this game with modders in mind. At the time, that wasn't as common as it is now. And in my experience they have always answered any questions I've had. If any group of developer deserve to earn extra from DLC, it's this group!

I know a lot of game that bundle DLC into the base game over time, but this game has no competition, so they don't need to do it. It is literally the only game in town.

Jeez, you can buy the CD keys online for the DLCs and they cost just a few quid. As I have said another post I bought Mass Transit this morning for just over £3. That is nothing, not even the price of a beer.....

[Ducks on Fire]

What's the point of complaining about the price of the DLC if you can just download stuff from the workshop? really, if you think that the workshop is all you need then what do the DLC matter? And if the DLC contains things you want then why should they not charge for it?

You sure you don't want to try that sentence again?

Seems like some people act like DLC is a new thing. Before the internet and DLC's, we had to buy expansion packs. Same thing, just a different format.
