It's like playing one of those "which would you rather do if you had to pick one" hypothetical games, where the two choices are some godawful terrible thing. Would you rather drink dog piss or would you rather eat dog shit?
Is it better to have a disc with everything on it, even the stuff that really shouldn't be there, like DLC? Or is it better to have a disc with nothing on it, even the stuff that really should be there, like, you know, the actual fucking game itself?
Except in this case, it isn't hypothetical at all. This is simply the stark reality of the video game industry today and how incredibly far it has degenerated.
In this case, yeah, I definitely have to agree that as much as I loathe the first scenario too, I think the second scenario is indeed by far the more idiotic. Like dmjewelle said above, what's the point of even selling a disc at all at that point? You know, aside from the scuzzy, dishonest, borderline criminal reasons you mentioned in your reply to her. Besides that, I truly cannot think of a single good, valid, non-bullshit reason for them to do it this way.
Fuck the video game industry, in general, and fuck Konami, in particular, along with any other companies that decide to jump on this particular bandwagon of inane horseshit.
