id not happen. I absolutely despise games that make you pay for things that should already be in the base game. A perfect example would be the Total War series by Sega and Creative Assembly. They force you to buy blood and gore as part of a DLC which should just naturally be part of the game.
I don't think it is the same thing at all. CA and SEGA develop assets that they purposely cut from the end game so that you have to pay more to access the full game (Look at the ROME II debacle). I stopped buying Total War games because of it (even though I was one of their first costumers).
Blacksmithing, they couldn't develop it in time. If they release an expansion that contains it, I would support it if the system is good.
