Doesn't seem like it considering I just played online after updating and then what I said happened happened.
I don't mean a patch to make that happen, I mean patching that mode so that if they leave it's still finishable.

You're an idiot if you don't buy the game just because of this dumb move by them. Then again, it's $5 dollars. I'll gladly pay $5 for more content in a Resident Evil game.
Hell I'd pay $60 dollars twice just to have DLC of maps to play online from the original games, remade in 720P glory.
It would be amazing to have Chapter 7-1 show up specifically for online play, and that be the streets of Racoon City.
I'm just dreaming now, but I'd pay the price of a game for a single map of co-op play with Majini in the streets of Racoon City.
Or a Mercenary map of the mansion.

I'm not an idiot, and there is no need for you to call me such. I was just stating that I don't think I will buy RE5 because I don't want Capcom to get my sale. They will just think they can charge whatever they want and get away with it because people will still buy their stuff. I would much rather use my energy fighting to make them change their minds for the good of the gaming community.

So, you won't buy the original game because they're deciding to charge for DLC? Every single other game I've bought has had DLC that had to be paid for. $5 is not the end of the world.
The game itself is well worth the $60. You're missing out for a dumb reason.

halifax has a point though. Why would you not buy a game because they decided to charge DLC? I would understand if maybe the game is really short and you feel you're being robbed (kinda like L4D, but Valve is great - they aren't charging for their DLC) but RE5 has a 7 hour single player, 7 hour co-op of the single player, tons of unlockables to make you want to go back through those 7 hours, and Mercenaries which alone has made me play more then a couple dozen.

I completely agree with you.
They're announcing all of this DLC a few days before the game even came out.
They could have easily included all of this DLC in the game in the first place, but they decided to cut parts out of the game and then sell it for more a week after release. It's complete crap.
If they pull this with the PC version, they will not get any money from me.
This whole console DLC crap is a ludicrous trend, and I wish it would die. And don't try to pull the DLC = Expansion packs. Real expansion backs (see baldurs gate 2 expansion) actually added on a large amount of content to the game. Nowadays, people are paying 5 bucks for fancy underwear as DLC.

If it actually turns out to be something that expands upon the game, then I will take back everything I have said. But how much priced DLC have they announced already? Isn't it 2 or 3? I haven't really kept up with it that much.

Well that doesn't make you look ignorant.

And it expands upon the gameplay modes.
Instead of just...
Singleplayer
Co-Op Singleplayer
Mercenaries
Co-Op Mercenaries
For an extra $5, you'll get
Slayer
Team Slayer
Survival
Team Survival
Versus
Its not like they're pricing $25-30 for this stuff. Its just $5, and its completely optional.
Sony has been milking people $5 for sets of Sackboy costumes. Which would you rather have?
Another Safari costume for Chris for $5 or 5 new gameplay modes for $5?

Ahh my bad, I had heard that they were splitting it up into multiple DLC packs. I stand corrected.

It's not that I think the game isn't worth the $60, I'm sure it's great. I am just choosing not to support Capcom because of this greediness, and buying their games=supporting them.
Besides, I am flat broke and had a hard time deciding whether or not to buy the game. This basically just made up my mind for me. It's not like I was super hyped for it and was going to buy it as soon as it was released, I could really care less.
