Fernando Melo, head of online development at Bioware has said that he's a fan of day on DLC and that it offers the best choice for gamers. Describing DLC as "very safe," in terms of developmental risk, he explained that while retail game sales would often drop off significantly after launch, DLC maintained a pretty steady sales rate - even if it's not particularly high. It also keeps its price ... more.

Since Blizzard unveiled the ability to view character profiles, some battle.net detectives have been discovering some interesting similarities between items owned by different players - items that should be almost completely unique.
