Swery65 is a well-known name in gaming, with the creator amassing a portfolio of work which includes many quirky titles such as Deadly Premonition, The Missing: J.J. Macfield and the Island of Memories, and his most recent release: The Good Life. Speaking of the latter title, the game is set to get its first piece of paid DLC. Seemingly a contentious decision, Swery65 since has taken to Twitter to defend this piece of paid content.

In a post on Twitter, Swery65 spoke on the decision to make The Good Life’s DLC a paid experience, saying “Please tell me why we creators, who work overtime every day to make video games, should have to update our games for free. You all pay $10 for a cup of coffee at Starbucks….Is the world going crazy????”

Swery65 made it clear that this comment is in reference to the recently-announced ‘Behind the secret of Rainy Woods’ DLC for The Good Life which will be paid content when it releases on the 9th of March. Curiously, the DLC currently does not list a price, meaning it is tough to determine whether the value of the content is justified.

The Good Life – Behind the secret of Rainy Woods brings with it 12 new side quests as well as some additional secrets, though again, its value is hard to determine without knowing the cost of the DLC.

While fans should not expect a game’s post-launch content to be free, the Starbucks coffee argument is a long-tired one and so regardless of what The Good Life’s DLC costs, hopefully fans are happy with what they pay for.
