I don't mean to be rude Ryanza, but this strikes me as very irrational and more an act against your own benefit, if you are a gamer (not you specifically). The two main factors to weigh in here are:
1) It's free.
2) It's content created after the game is finished.
So people buying the game aren't getting less, they're simply not getting more due to certain limitations of theirs (internet access). I think that this isn't a pointless distinction.
When you think about it, how do you please someone who is upset with free DLC that is worked upon after the game is done?
1) You can delay the game so that the DLC will just be part of the game (and this has the potential of leading to never-ending discussion - what about free DLC they'll want to work on after this imaginary delay?)
2) You can not-work on any further DLC.
I think that we can all agree that these two options aren't really attractive. Also I want to note that this specific DLC doesn't seem like it's a significant change to the game. Mostly small aesthetic stuff and tiny bonuses, such as a weapon here, a weapon there. When talking about a game that is very likely to contain hundreds of hours worth of play, not buying it due to minor content in DLC created for free in the devs' own time after the game is done just seems like a missed experience to any gamer, really.

I have read a lot of gaming news' sites about this .... And I have to say, CD Projekt Red has done the impossible, every single comments' section is full of praise.
What I hope from this is that this will start a new trend for gaming, offering more free DLCs, let this industry finally be less shitty , hahahaha

Totally hyped.
Announcing free DLC 4 months before the release of the game?
For new clothes? new beards? new high heels? a new mount?
for free on top of that? I must be dreaming eyes wide open.
Better than having actual news about the game and seeing some footage of it, for sure!

I know you're probably being sarcastic here. Famitsu has new screenshots on the PS4 version that look noticeably better than the 35 min demo build. The huge QnA thread is locked and they are collecting questions. This is just a part of the new information we're going to inevitably get about the game.
Likely because they won't be ready, they want to deliver a good quality product and not rush the roll out. It's a sign they care about what they're doing.
Oh thank Melitele I didn't see this when I was eating a ice cream, I'd probably have spat everything around :rofl:
I think it's a fixation because I fail to see the difference between working on DLC content one day after the game goes gold or one month. But I don't mean to be preaching here.
It's their choice, of course.
Any marketing move which respect me as a costumer is pretty fine to me. It's a cattitude often forgotten by many traders/dealers/marketers/businessmenNow this, finally, seems like a brilliant (partially) marketing move, gotta love You, CDPR!
Here's hoping dice poker will make a return in one of those DLCs.
Plenty of other devs release day 1 DLC and want you to pay for it. CoD AW is currently doing that, Lords of the Fallen just did that.. It would be more work to bundle the DLC into the main game at this point, hard copies of the game may already be in production. All sorts of reasons, the complaint that some people don't have internet access is odd frankly- no matter what the DLC you would need internet access. Weird knit to pick here.. especially since they're saying it's free for everyone. Honestly, who plays games that doesn't have internet access? If this is expressly for people who don't pay for Xbox Live or PS+, then maybe those people should do something about their problem. The devs are doing something awesome here.
Since we're all hyped and happy, someone should start a tread "What do you expect in 12 remaining DLCs?"
