The 7 Biggest Video Game DLC Rip-Offs

Remember back in the 90s, when people spoke exclusively via Friends quotes, and Google was still just a search engine? They were simpler times. Better times. Especially regarding video games. For a while, your precious playthings were still physical entities, encased in plastic cartridges, and the notion of downloading extras for them was the stuff of science fiction. Like Velcro.

Tomb Raider - Tomb of the Lost Adventurer

Offending money-spinner: Tomb of the Lost Adventurer

The Tomb Raider reboot was an absolutely fantastic Uncharted ripoff. It’s OK to say that, of course, because Uncharted itself ripped off the original Tomb Raider. If The Lion King taught me anything, it’s that this is the circle of life.

The DLC in question, Tomb of the Lost Adventurer, was only 240MSP (or about $3 in American metal), so what could possibly be wrong with that? Well, this: it’s a bad value proposition. Just because $3 isn’t a massive amount of money, it doesn’t mean everything that costs that much is worth it. Would you spend $3 on second-hand birth control, just because it was cheap?

If the answer is yes, then you probably bought this DLC, too, which consisted of one extra explorable tomb with about 30 seconds worth of puzzle solving in it.
