DLC, Evil practise?

The original concept was to develop and add extra content for games after they have been released, to keep the audience engaged in the game. It became very popular and started being abused. The subject that raises most people’s blood pressure is the “Day one DLC’s” Developers remove content from their games on purpose and release it as a Day One DLC along the side of the original game. ‘Developers remove some content from their games and release it as Day One DLC which actually means to enjoy the full game now you will have to pay for the disc you buy and 10-15$ for the DLC. This practice brings loads of cash in developers’ bank account as franchise lovers who want to enjoy the complete experience offered by the game will go and pay for that DLC.’ But truth be told if masses would not buy it it would not carry on for a long time, we cannot complain about something we keep alive. With such high expectations people should not complain about having to pay a little extra. It is like a holiday. You can go camping and have a great time, or you can go to an all inclusive five star hotel in Italy and have a great time, both fun, different kind of fun but also comes with a different price tag.
