In this day and age, it’s almost a given that there will be post-launch DLC for a title, with a Season Pass preceding it, saving you some money in the long run. Just a little bit ago, we told you of the BioShock Infinite Season Pass, something that runs you $20 and includes access to three pieces of post-launch DLC for the title.
Unfortunately for Ken Levine, Creative Director and Co-Founder of Irrational Games, many people were unhappy to hear about BioShock Infinite receiving this DLC, taking to Twitter to voice their opinions. Being the awesome person he is, Ken answered many of people’s questions, and shed some light on the DLC, Booker, and more:
DLC facts: levels have not been started or barely begun. It is not cut content. Cut content was cut because it was not good enough for game.

DLC is single player content. When I said we cut DLC, we cut it. We don’t cut with a plan to put in DLC.

If you’re a BioShock fan, and you won’t be excited about the particular DLC I’m working on with my team…then you’re not a BioShock fan!

I’m sensitive to DLC concerns, but If you never play the DLC, you will have a 100% complete story experience with Infinite alone.

RT @rogxue: @iglevine will it all be story or weapon/power packs and story content? -The story stuff I’m working on is love letter to fans.

RT @aquinodaneel: Just two questions, Mr. @iglevine: will dlc be necessary to comprehend everything? –No, main game will stand on its own.

RT @yuki_hime: @themikeswartz @iglevine want to know that the DLC will add not take away –Add. The game stands completely on its own.

RT @jorothtehwicked: @iglevinedoes the over all sales of the pass affect the quality of DLC? –no budget is set, barring delays.

RT @freshrevenge: @iglevine does Booker have model in game, or is it purely from a FPS perspective? You see him briefly in reflection.

RT @therealgrogster: @iglevine You knew DLC “backlash” was coming, though.. -Gamers are entitled to be mad, not buy, etc. It’s their money.

To be super clear, the ONLY thing that is on disc is the contents of the early bird special. All else not even CLOSE to done. #transparency

Does the fact that this is brand new content, and nothing cut from the game, have you excited? Let us know in the comments below.
