Letter to developers + Furry Fiesta!

General
Gonna start with the con. Going to be there Friday morning, leaving Sunday night. I'd like to be there thursday/monday, but eh, can't this year. Hope to see you there! (or not cause I'm really shy, ha ha, working on that.)
Now, the main thing I wanted to address.
DLC.
I knew it was going to happen eventually, but i hoped it wouldn't. But it seems it has.
Big name developers? DO NOT USE DLC TO FINISH YOUR GAME.
I do not buy games from you with the expectation they're unfinished. IF YOU HAVEN'T FINISHED THE GAME, PUSH IT BACK SO YOU CAN. (How many times was Brawl and Twilight Princess pushed back?)
I recently started playing FFXIII-2, and it's a decent game, I want to enjoy it, BUT THE STORY ISN'T FUCKING FINISHED.
I DO NOT PAY FULL PRICE FOR AN UNFINISHED GAME.
Yes, I realize, small devs (think minecraft) do this stuff all the time.
But you know what? There's two key factors that make them different from you Square.
1. They charge A LOT LESS. THEY DO NOT MAKE ME PAY $60 FOR AN UNFINISHED GAME.
2. They make their DLC FREE. FREE.
So you know what? It's great that you've noticed this little tactic that indie devs used. Try to get a bit more funding before the game is finished. It's great you want to use it, BUT DON'T FORGET THE FUCKING KEY PART.
I DO NOT WANT TO PAY FULL PRICE FOR A GOD DAMN FUCKING UNFINISHED GAME.
The ONLY time it's ok to charge for DLC is for EXTRA content (like that gay looking outfit for Noel you can buy). Not content that should have been there in the god damn first place. I already bought the game, unless you're going to charge less for the game itself, I don't want to have to pay more to buy the pieces THAT SHOULD ALREADY FUCKING BE THERE.
I'd be 10 times more pissed off if this game wasn't a gift -.-
