You can be okay with it and still acknowledge exactly what it is.

Same as you calling it 'extra content', it's just another excuse to justify an extra sale. You saying it is, is just your way of justifying the practice.

Doesn't matter if you think of it as a cosmetic or not, it isn't. If Halo 2 Map Pack came out today, you can bet your ass it would already be backed into the game files and would just be an unlock.Īgain, it isn't cosmetic because it has a unique function that the others do not have. Nobody bitched 20 years ago about 'paying' for the Halo 2 Map Pack. The reason Day 1 Special Edition DLC tends to be 'locked' these days rather than sold and downloaded separately is because it's logistically smarter (and cheaper) to roll it into the main game files so you already know it functions within the game without creating new bugs on day 1, and so there isn't a separate download, which costs money to save separately onto platforms servers. Which, who gives AF? It'd be like whining that the new WWE 2K-Whatever doesn't come with the Westlemania VI arena. So the only thing being kept from the player is the arena itself. It's effectively cosmetic in that its absence doesn't take away from the game, its presence merely adds to an already complete game, and it functions identically to the other Battle Arena with a different mob set and allowance for use of different spells, but those mob sets and those spells are themselves accessible in the main game outside of the arena. Having those extra couple days means I can mostly hang out here without fear, and it also allows me to participate in those first few days of experience collectively with the entire community both here and elsewhere. Reddit for me is always the most fun when browsing after a huge game release. It means most of the memes and discussions I see early on upon release will be things I’ve already likely experienced, and/or I can participate in such discussions without being spoiled. If you think about it it’s not just the fact that it’s three days more of playing-it means I don’t have to completely avoid the internet for three days to resist spoilers.

If the mount is otherwise unobtainable then I think that also makes it worth it, but it’s mostly about early access. It’s debatable if the arena, mount, and cosmetics are truly worth $10 or not but to me it’s a small price to pay to get the early access. To be fair it’s much more than just the arena that you’re receiving access to.
