I'm talking games that are purposely gimped in order to make a quick buck off the DLC. I can't name any off the top of my head, but I'm sure they're out there.
Essentially, what I mean is how perfect dark for the N64 had no single player, half the multiplayer modes, and only half the maps and characters if you had no expansion pack.
While that was forced due to hardware limitations and isn't the best example, the fact that 3/4ths of the game isn't even playable is comparable to what some games have going with their DLC.
I'm perfectly fine with adding NEW content when they make it after the game's release, but taking out stuff that was supposed to be in the original game anyway and making is DLC is a dick move.
But yeah, I get your point.
