So EA did this out of the bottom of their hearts? Ok then. It has nothing to do with the fact that if multiplayer dlc was optionally sold, it would make those that choose not to buy it incompatible with those that do. I'm not saying EA is the worst company ever, just that they shouldn't be praised for this exception when they're still doing the online pass crap and day one dlc.

The reason people were automatically pissed off with multiplayer because it was completely unneeded in a single-player RPG series. No matter how good it could be, it's always going to feel tacked on because of the principle of the matter. Anyway, I doubt that most of the people complaining actually play the multiplayer, so in their case the dlc would be kind of pointless.
