Capcom is re-evaluating on-disc DLC practices, but Dragon’s Dogma launching with on-disc DLC

Hearing the words Capcom and DLC will most definitely make many gamer’s heads explode, however Capcom will be evaluating its on-disc DLC strategy according to senior vice president Christian Svensson.

In a post on the Capcom Unity blog, he said, “We’ve been getting several questions, here and elsewhere about the future of on-disc DLC. We would like to assure you that we have been listening to your comments and as such have begun the process of re-evaluating how such additional game content is delivered in the future.”

“As this process has only just commenced in the past month or so, there will be some titles, where development began some time ago and that are scheduled for release in the coming months, for which we are unable to make changes to the way some of their post release content is delivered.” the post continued.

One of those titles will be Dragon’s Dogma, as it will be shipped with on-disc DLC as it is believed to be the most efficient way stated the post.

The controversy started when Street Fighter X Tekken was discovered to have on-disc DLC which contained 14 additional characters that was planned to be unlocked at a later date for a fee. Many players believed that they were paying to play with something they already paid for.
