Skarlet's far from Ready for dlc N other Rants

I've seen it before with other X360 games - any dev who says they *want* to release DLC free may in fact *want* to release DLC free, but has not paid attention to MS policies regarding free DLC. Namely that you can't release free DLC.

Yes, there has been free DLC. Microsoft has made exceptions. That doesn't mean anyone can release free DLC any time they think they want to.
