Bloodlines 2 developers try to justify the game's DLC clans, but it's not very convincing: 'We have been expanding it from where we originally planned to land' (www.pcgamer.com)

Bloodlines is one of my all time favourite games. It's not perfect gameplay wise, but it has probably the best world, characters and atmosphere I've encountered. I just love it.

Whenever Bloodlines 2 was announced I got excited. Then it went through developer hell and my expectations dropped to zero. Nowadays after I've seen and read couple previews and hands-ons, my hopes went up a notch and I started to get excited again.

Then release date and price got announced and I was like WTF? Cold shower. I know, it's Paradox and the have billions of DLCs for everything, but still... Day one DLC should be a crime! If you feel the game is worth more or you have so much content you need a DLC (lol), either pack all in and rise a price bit or release that DLC later, not day one.

I'm a patient gamer with huge back log, so I probably wouldn't buy at release anyway and wait for sale, but it still sucks to hear such a bullshit. I hope it's going to be good game, or at least okish game with good story, characters and atmosphere, but it feels like they're already tripping their legs with such moves.
