DLC or disc locked content

So one of my irks from the previous generation was so called Dlc which was actually already on the disc and you pay money to unlock it.

Happened with quite a few capcom games and many others (if you buy something like a new character or level etc and the download is 100kb then you know it is on disc most of the time)

And it seems to have happened with the new borderlands game which some bright spark has hacked and stuff has been leaked about the baroness class and the clone jack. Now while they may say stuff like there not finished which could well be true i think leaving evidence like that is a pretty stupid thing to do.

However that reminded me of a real annoyance that never got reported basically in borderlands 2 when the 3rd headhunter pack got released it actually had in it included the 4th one in its entire finished form (a month or 2 before it was supposed to be finished )and it could be played through. I think that was the first case of the already on dlc dlc.

In the end all it makes me do is wait for a more complete game later on. Especially when they encourage to pay for a season pass. I mean with a game you know what is in store but a season pass (which is often nearly the same price as the full game) the dlc could be anything from perhaps a few skins or costumes to a few new maps
