What does Nintendo and EA Sports have in common?

The only reason Nintendo is taking this stance is because they don't have the infrastructure to distribute DLC.

If they did, they would be selling it.

But yes, there are good and bad DLC. I really do not understand the people who are anti-DLC. No one is making you buy it.

They could have it if wanted to.. the Wii does support DLC and patching. Only a handful of games actually do it though.
The bigger issue was/is the lack of space on the Wii which is why it never went much further than a handful of games.

Also, as noted in the link above, they are putting a structure in place to sell DLC on the 3DS.

And I'm not anti-DLC. But there are a lot of bad practices associated with it, the biggest offender being selling you content that's already on the disc and charging you for an unlock key.

But yeah there are great DLC, Borderlands was fantastic with it, Valve does a great job (better on PC than consoles for the most part), the Fallout Series, Mass Effect, but I think these are more the exception than the rules.
