Gearbox's loot-driven wasteland romp Borderlands ain't even on store shelves till next week--with a PC release following on Steam the week after that--but the developer is already spilling the beans about its post-release plans for downloadable content.This should make players mad, but I think Kill Ten Rats has a better view on it:
Described as "the first in a series" of add-ons, The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned will run you $10 on all three platforms.
After looking at the neat DLC pictures of a zombie isle, I had another idea. Gearbox devs were the good guys here. They were letting me, the customer know, the specifics of their business plan before people shelled out for the game. Players that were interested in Borderlands as a service would now have a more concrete understanding of things to come.I would type more, but the above quote sums it up perfectly. The only problem that could arise is if the game feels incomplete at launch.
Watch this blog for more information on my plans for Borderlands.
