Not bad for $35

I game share with one of my friends that I actually know personally. I think that game sharing is okay as long as it's with people you know. I disagree partly on the game sharing aspect.

It's that simple. Day one DLC INCLUDED on the disc should not be charged for. It’s that simple.

Not so sure about the 'on-disc DLC' though. Whether you own the content on the disc, or it's seen as a license, the fact remains that you have paid for the content on the disc. It doesn't matter how much enjoyment you think you've had from the game - the fact is, they've already developed and coded that content, and saw fit to distribute it on the disc - which you have already paid for, at a price they deemed suitable for all the content on that disc. Even if it only becomes available at a later date through a code from the store, it should not cost you anything extra. I wouldn't liken it to buying a car with a locked glove compartment. I'd say it was more like buying a car where you had to pay an extra £5/$5 the first time you used every single switch, button and lever. I completely agree with him on the aspect of Game Sharing.
