DLC should not be listed as games

TAdams · 07-28-2012, 11:08 PM

When browsing the games for sale list, for instance, under $10.00 you get a huge listing from a now unscroupulous (coughCap, Coughcom) publisher basically spamming page after page with DLC. Which is really just an exaggeration of the overall problem.

DLC are not games, they are (arguably) additions to a game. The actual game is required in order to purchase and use the DLC. As such, they should have there own category. Better yet, when looking at games under $10.00 in this instance, the game should be listed with a + next to it, where by clicking the +, you can view the "optional" DLC.

Just my opinion,

Agreed. When looking for a game, one should only find the base game, not all of the DLC and add-on. these should be put in a separate category, or a radio button that either includes or excludes DLC.

Agreed as well. Add-ons that work as standalone should still be counted as a game. (like the FEAR 1 addons)

where it says "all items" in the drop down box, hit "games".

you will no longer see DLC.

There is also a button that you can check and uncheck to show DLC
