<p>DLC Question, an indie developer creates a game solely to collecting money and purchasing DLC with it.</p>
<p><span id="more-4391"></span></p>
<p>Now I won&#8217;t point any fingers at the big box game publishers, but now a days almost every major release has some sort of Downloadable Content (DLC) that is either completely worthless (different outfits or hats), or helps a gamer get ahead in the game without playing extensively (replacing cheat codes).</p>
<p>Going Loud Studios, the fine folks who brought us the <a title="I have never heard of this game before, but it looks awesome" href="http://www.youtube.com/user/GoingLoudStudios#p/u/3/Yy2rzH4PyFY" class="aga aga_2" target="_blank">Zombie Accountant</a>, developed a new game that identifies how ridiculous DLC has become for games. While Battlefield 3 provides a packaged deal for those who purchased it new, and developer Valve is always providing great new content for free, some folks like to make as much money as possible. In games like World of Warcraft or almost every iPhone game created is the option to download visual upgrades. For example you can purchase armor for your horse or perhaps a top hat.</p>
<p>DLC Quest throws you into a Mario style world where you collect as much coin as possible, and of course purchase DLC content with your coins. Check out the official trailer, or even download the <a href="http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Product/DLC-Quest/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d802585509c7" class="aga aga_3" target="_blank">trial on Xbox 360</a>. Honestly though the game is only 80 Microsoft Points, so you can expect a five minute review later on after this weekend.</p>
