I just can't wait for the most ridiculous DLC so I can laugh. 100 MS points for the game's manual is coming I tells ya.
It will stop once they realize people don't want to pay for all that unnecessary shit. And the people who do pay for it deserve to be ripped off.
I'm sorry Mr. Microsoft I didn't realize that I still wasn't giving you enough yet. Here is my wallet. Bitch.
If it's useful, yes I will support it. But the new iPhone stuff makes it seems like devs will release 10% of the game, and release the other 90% via microtransactions. Fuck that!
I agree though, I think it's significant. Significant in that the quality of games will begin to go down since publishers will use this new business model: Sell succinct game that leaves players wanting more for the usual price; sell additional content at a premium as a, "micro-transaction," a la Prince of Persia.
I hope this industry burns to the ground, we need another game market crash.
I knew this would happen too, its only going to get worse and there is nothing we can do about it.
Enjoy paying £50 for a blank disc and another £50 to unlock the game on it, im done with gaming now. Fuck it.

They can go full bore with microtransactions. It just means they'll die off and the smart ones who avoid it like the plague and offer fully developed quality products for a one-time fee will profit immensely.
i hate microtransactions. i buy points and en up with random points that i cant spend but the company doesnt care because they already got my money for it. why cant i just use my debit/credit card to buy things. that would be a much better system.
Taking out money: 66%
User generated content: 41%
They'd rather charge consumers for extra shit rather than let them make shit themselves. Yeah, that makes sense. I mean, mods never did anything for anybody right?

what system do you have that you can buy points that are then useless?
I will avoid it like the plague.....again....

I'm quite a fan of DLC, but then again I'm a PS3 gamer not a rapebox gamer.
I find the extra stuff is just that, extra stuff, i buy what i think is worth the cost and don't buy anything that i don't think is worth it. One thing i think should be illegal is putting data on the disk you pay for, then charging you extra to unlock it, i mean come on, I OWN that data and it's not like games are cheap.
I tend to trade games in too, and when you've gone and paid for DLC it's a bit of a shit when you've traded in the game.
