The other problem I have with Day-1 DLC is that if it includes something major (ie Zaeed, Shale), then I feel as if I'm being punished for preferring to buy my games secondhand; I'm already putting out a fair bit of my entertainment budget on a game, I don't want to drop another $10 to get the whole thing when I'm buying secondhand specifically to avoid that.

Know what DLC I can live with? Whatever Valve is doing. Yeah, L4D2 is probably piratable, but I was totally willing to pay 50 for access to the public servers. Bit of a different game style, but if RPG makers don't want me to pirate out of spite, they should avoid a microtransactionary style. I hate that shit.
