DLC – Your thoughts?

Some of you may have noticed the ongoing discussion regarding the volume of Agarest DLC we’ve recently released.  I made the following post on the Steam forums and thought it would be a good idea to bring the debate here to get your thoughts on it.

“Hi everyone. Thank you for all your recent comments regarding the DLC for Agarest on Steam. This is our first PC game and we’re still learning about some of the differences between the PC and console markets!  :)

We appreciate your concerns about the volume of DLC available (admittedly there is a lot) but we can assure you that all the DLC was taken from the Japanese console version, and we wanted to offer it to you in order to replicate the same experience that was originally made available in Japan. We also just wanted to make it clear that the DLC is entirely optional and isn’t required in order to be able to complete the game. The only DLC that includes new gameplay content (the additional dungeons) was included in the PC release free of charge, while the rest was designed for gamers who feel they could use a little extra help with the game.

As I’ve said, we’re still learning about the requirements of PC gamers, so we’d genuinely like to hear more of your thoughts on DLC and how you’d like us to handle other games that use the same DLC model in the future. “

 Please let us know what you think in the comments below or via the Steam forum thread we’ve set up, which you can find here.

Lastly, I’m afraid that we’ve had to delay the Ghostlight Giveaway I mentioned last week.  Don’t worry though, as I’m sure we’ll be opening it up as soon we finish rooting around the Ghostlight warehouse for prizes :).

I’ll be back next week, but until then why not follow us on our Twitter and Facebook pages, our Youtube Channel and our  Google + account, where we’ll be posting all the latest news from Ghostlight? You can also follow me on Twitter for a more personal take on all things Ghostlight.
