Edit:
s4real,
How much did you pay for your graphics card and where did you get it?
Quote: "Its just seems silly IMO, whats the point in leaving those features out if you can just download them?"
Because TGC is going for a T (teen) ESRB rating not a M (mature),or,even worse,an AO (adults only) rating...apparently death is okay as long as the death scene is not too realistic (showing a smiley face ,when someone is killed is fine but them exploding in a mixture of blood,goo,etc. is not).
You have to remember that politicians are trying to put pressure on the ESRB...you know how that goes...
Leaving the content in-engine/in-game would be useless as per the hot coffee scandal some hacker would be able to unlock it.
So the ESRB still rates the content even if it is initially unavailable to the player.
If the content is an add on the ESRB (nor any other organization) can't do squat about it.It's just like a third party add-on and TGC does not have to do the ESRB thing with it.
If TGC can get a T rating on this from the ESRB you can expect sales to go through the roof...I know quite a few people who would buy this if they saw it on the store shelves.
I will point out also from a parent's perspective that I would let a youner child play with x10 the way it is but not after the download so as a parent I appreciate any opportunity I would have to control what my children can and can't play with.
Please have mercy and use the search function.
