Bioshock 2 DLC al aanwezig op de disc; 2K geeft verklaring

Onlangs verscheen er downloadable content (DLC) voor Bioshock 2, namelijk het Sinclair Solutions Test Pack. Oplettende gamers kwamen er echter al snel achter dat deze DLC al op de disc van de game aanwezig was en dus werd 2K Games om een verklaring gevraagd.

Volgens 2K heeft men dit gedaan zodat spelers altijd samen kunnen blijven spelen, of je nu de DLC hebt gekocht of niet. Community manager Elizabeth Tobey vertelde op het 2K-forum:

“The way our engine and game structure works is that people need to have the exact same content for people to play together. One of the challenges with post launch content for MP is that it can split the player base, and we want to avoid that whenever possible. For this content, creating the DLC package the way we did allowed for us to not split the player base – so whether you purchase the new content or not, you can still play with your friends.

“I know some of you have strong beliefs about DLC, and I’m not here to sway your opinion or convince you to buy our stuff – if you like what we’re offering, I hope you get it and enjoy it. If it’s not your speed, enjoy BioShock 2 as we released it.”
