Redditor Narc_Cop33, which claims to be a developer, and will not show his true identity for obvious reasons, decided ", the masses to explain" why does the current state of gaming DLC, DRM, and pre-order bonuses. This is essentially a uncut repost of what he says, because frankly, it is important.

DRM is, because people games pirates. You sorry, if this answer bothers or in turn causes that you, pirates, but that's more games the way, how, that is it. As a developer, we would rather DRM is not present, because it is by an additional hurdle, before a game can be shared. I have spoken in the industry to another, and it is a foregone, we go to a cloud based system in which much of the game on your hard drive will be. Retail used this idea to fight, but with how game PC sales in the direction of recorded digital distribution, there is no question really, but when.

The only reason why you make certain elements of the industry in favor of piracy, show, is that they are trying to gain popularity and encourage you to buy their game. It is the same reason why musicians do it, and their work be illegally downloaded the same reason, why defend certain actors/actresses.

You are correct in the assumption that the most DLC is created before the game is finished. More than not, we are often approached by 50-60 percent in the development cycle of a game and asked how we want to handle content post production. This has become the last five to six years more and more commonplace, and it is a direct consequence of the several evolving changes in the industry.

To be blunt, you can blame and other retail stores GameStop, buying used to promote games more than new. Someone is less likely to sell back their titles, if they know more content is on the way, and with the fact that some games now can be completed on a day season, we have quickly with DLC to move announcements.

Yes, you are in caught a bit of a war between the Distributor and Publisher. I am sorry...

...DLC promises and pre order increase bonuses you your sales. Again, I'm not an industry of maintaining sorry if these facts disturb you, but we are wrong ethical code. In recent years, consumer eaten both showed these business practices and us, that we can and will benefit from their use.

Believe me, what does EA is bullshit? Yes I do. They get away with it? Yes, they are...

My advice to/gaming/before I leave

Digital download-your games. The early retail stores are mostly out of the equation, the earlier, some of those aspects of the industry could dispel.

Piracy to stop. But seriously stop. If you do not think that a link between DRM and piracy then do it figures, you it really not. If you go to pirates, then please buy games that you download.

The best advice I can give. Follow through with your boycott. Follow through with any boycott. Companies can verbal insults to ignore, but they can not explain why profits are down, ignore the shareholders. If a boycott works, then it is very effective. IF keyword.
