Why did you pay it then?

Considering that Nintendo aren't actually gaining any money from this method of slowly trickling out Maps and weapons, I don't see how people are jumping to the conclusion that they are being shady. Actually, it probably requires more effort on their part.
Surley this method of extending the life of the game is a good thing for players? It's a way of insuring the game doesn't die in a matter of months and make on-line useless which is important considering it is a new Ip on what is widely regarded as a failing console.
What makes it even less of an issue is that Nintendo made everything blatantly clear about what they were intending to do as well.
Even at that, people can just choose to buy the game when everything is released anyway so I honestly don't see any reason to complain.

Yep. Not only that, but everything is online related, no actual downloads. So, even if they allowed for every weapon and map to be used on day one, is not like you'll be able to use any offline, or whenever the servers are shutdown.Found on Reddit this that explain well my though.
One thing I didn't see mentioned that was on the guy's twitter is that he found references to S and S+ ranks.
Hell yeah baby. ....
Many skilled players adapt the weapon set to the current map rotation.
Hence the "minor issues" comment I put there. I realize what may be minor issues for me may be major issues for others, but you have to realize that the Wii U has an abysmal install base for its age. Yeah, it's mostly Nintendo's fault, but the game was released and it has to deal with it. I can't speak for PC since I only own weak ones, but I imagine they have a community comparable to the PS4 or better. Aren't shooters one of the more popular games to play on PC? It's up there IIRC.It seems like Nintendo always knows what's best for the players.
They know it is better for them not being able to talk to each other online, they know it is better for them not being able to team up on the same side and now they know when players should be allowed to play content they already have paid for.
If a game is good, the community will keep playing it. Somehow, other games manage to do it with more content from the start.
I don't know, maybe it's just me coming from a PC background with shooters having hundreds of mutators/mods and still manage to have a healthy community.
Can't players decide for themselves anymore?
They're not. You don't download anything. You get online, and said maps are added to the rotation.So all of the content is on disc and they're making it sound like they're giving away free dlc?
Disgusting.

Do we have any proof that the content is complete?
What? Have they ever said that?

Several of the stages that have been added have already been used in the single player campaign and none of the unlocks so far have required additional DLC or patches to download. Only one patch so far has updated the version of the game.
The game probably checks for an online trigger/alarm and if it's detected, a new stage/weapon etc. becomes available.

Only for used copies, if you bought it new then you didn't have to pay for the access. They eventually made it free for used copies.Wasn't EA charging people money for those?
Will be my main weapon.The Triple Red Shells of Splatoon.
But I doubt that the additional modes are already on disc. They had nothing to show for the Rainmaker in the Direct. And the other one was barely shown.
So wait, in the online portion of Splatoon, you can only play the maps that Nintendo lets you? And they change it every four hours?
And they're also telling me I can't use content in the game that I paid for until they're ready to let me? Yeah, that sounds like a really great game.
How is the single player? Or is single player mode only available when Nintendo feels like it?

50% of the content locked away for on-disc DLC. what a joke. so glad i didnt buy this game.

It would be great if people would stop calling this Anti-Consumer when it isn't
Making you pay for stuff thats on the Disc is Anti-Consumer
Making you pay for stuff that was supposed to be in the Game is Anti-Consumer
Complaining about not everything being available at once when stuff is being unlocked in a steady pace is being impatient.
It's completly fine to be against this practise, but calling it Anti-Consumer is BS.
At best this is Anti-Completionist.
It's Nintendo being Nintendo. Hand-holding and controlling. How would you feel if you paid for a bag of Oreo's but the grocery store only gave you a couple from the bag a week? No it's not as bad or anti-consumer as paying for on-disc content or DLC taken from complete games. It's still artificial and annoying though.
I really wish they gave us all on disc maps and features to us at launch rather than ease them out. I would probably still be actively playing the game. Also wish they'd get rid of the map rotation, it's dumb.
this game isn't for you.
Nintendo can do this because their games are good. It's not just some any typical Oreos you can find at any store.
I wish we could save costume sets and pick the ones we want to use when the map is selected.The map rotation works due to how the load-outs are handled.

So, this is pretty shitty. But I think most of us knew it was being artificially held back to make the Wii Us summer lineup not look so anemic,
I wonder what the COD community would do if Activision started telling them they can only play a certain map online and then in four hours we'll change it for you.
That's true, but for people coming from other competitive shooters to it might feel the same.To be fair, there always will be a greater outcry for freedoms taken away then freedoms never given in the first place.
No, it's because their arrogant fanbase always does what Nintendo tells them to do and they like it.
