EA Makes More Than 2X More Money From Extra Content Than From Full Digital Games!

@ Az,those figures aren't for a full year & doesn't include physical copies sold.

As long as developers don't start leaving content out of a game to sell later (Destiny) then i'm all for more dlc when it's done right.

Bethesda tend to do dlc right which is why i'll probably buy the season pass for Fallout 4.

I'll wait until I see whats being released for Battlefront but I know i'll end up buying it as it's Star Wars.

I tend to wait for dlc to go on sale now before buying it,does depend on what you are getting for your money though.

At the end of the day no one is forcing you to buy dlc but more choice is good.

More is good, but would you still be okay with it if they started to cut even more out of the base game to possibly sell to you later? A line needs to be drawn somewhere in my opinion. As it stands there isn't any.

Spot on Tzar. As long as people continue to buy the extra content, they will keep producing and charging for it. You can't really blame them with numbers like that. They'd be leaving money on the table if they didn't. If there was a drop in people buying
it, they might change their model but I don't see that happening. People like more content. They might complain but then also still buy it.

How dare they try to make money!

So in a year EA only made a million dollars from console games?

That doesn't make sense and when things don't add up it's usually because they're not true.

A number of EA's titles sold over a million copies so this chart appears to be a work of fantasy.

Just goes to show when you want to get people's attention... make something up!
