This sort of thing is notorious for irking hardcore gamers, but according to the developer, no content will be locked for customers who choose not to pony up extra cash.
If we were smarter we would be latching onto the many small opportunities this new type of economy is creating: in Cloud services, developer ecosystems, content ecosystems, customer ecosystems etc.
Once a company begins to rely on external resources, like developer communities, content providers, creatives, then senior management needs to behave in a more peer-like fashion, and needs to demonstrate wisdom that can stand the test of peer critique.
Unfortunately, the online gamer community has reacted so violently to day-one-DLC that just the whiff of a developer working on extra content before the game has finished has forums exploding in blind fanboy rage.

The way the certification process for games works will often leave a 2-3 month window where the developer can either create a patch, or work on additional content.
But today a developer at YouTube network Fullscreen unveiled an app that lets wearers upload video content from Glass, directly to YouTube.
Countless add-ons in the form of developer apps will customize the driving experience of users by providing access to fast-changing content preferences around the globe.
But the search giant admits that since 2007, it has also been collecting content data from unsecured networks, a result, it says, of accidentally implementing experimental code that a developer created in 2006.
