Optional Option Best Option.


It boils down to choice really doesn't it, you're free to choose whether or not you buy the extra content from whoever it is that is doing this deal, if you don't like it, you have three choices:

1) Buy the game for less, with slightly less content
2) Buy the game for more, with more content
3) Don't buy the game

If you don't agree with EA's decision to create more content for more money, fair enough, that's your opinion and I understand that, so choose option 1 and don't support their choice.
If you would like to spend more money for more content, then go with option 2, and get more content.
If you think that the game is going to be horrendously imbalanced due to the additional content that people can buy then don't buy the game, simple.

I understand that this is part of a growing trend of game companies splitting up content that; let's be honest, should be in the game (Oh wait, it is!) - I don't agree with spending £15 on a new map pack every month a la Call of Duty.... so I don't buy a new map pack every month for Call of Duty.

I don't see what the problem is to be honest, I probably won't spend £30 on the game just for some small upgrades that may give people an advantage, but they paid for it and I didn't, so fair enough it doesn't bother me because I could have spent the extra money if I think it's worth it, however I don't think it's worth it, so I won't be buying it. If other people buy it, great! That's their decision, good on them for digging deep for something they really want, and if they kill me because of, for example, this unique ammo for a shotgun, fair enough - he'd paid the money and I didn't.
