Christofer Sundberg, the head of Avalanche Studio, has come out disliking DLC and forced multiplayer in video games.
Sundberg believes these methodologies are getting in the way of making compelling gameplay.
Said Sundberg:
"DLC is not needed to keep players engaged if the game is well executed," said Sundberg to Eurogamer. "We create a game allowing players to properly explore and have fun and not focusing so much on the actual end goal of the game. As most publishers and developers have run around as headless chickens the last three years looking for a way to make money, DLC was definitively a tool to try to keep players engaged, but how many games have been truly successful with DLC? Not that many."
