Paul Evans

I decided to gather a few friends from around the studio to informally discuss downloadable content around a table over lunch. This is the first time I have tried anything like this so please keep that in mind! This is all personal opinion too, not that of our employer.

High level summary of what we discussed:

• What is your favorite DLC & why?
• Is DLC on the disk ethical?
• Discussion around DLC pricing.
• How can DLC effect game balance?
• DLC and player status.

The voices you hear in order of appearance:

• Paul Evans @PaulECoyote (Programmer).
• David Addis (Programmer).
• Kalev Tait @KalevTait (Designer).
• Keith Judge @KeefJudge (Programmer).
• Bryn Davies @LH_ClarkyCat (Designer).

Thanks to everyone who took part. Special thanks goes to my wife who spent some of her time over the weekend post-producing this. Should I try this again with any luck I will do a better job with the advice she has given me.

Update: The original audio files linked have been updated. Michael Taylor @stomp224 (Audio Designer) kindly offered to clean up the audio some more. Find him at http://www.stomp224.co.uk
