Why DLC is sometimes unfair

hello there ;)

I am a gamer who does not play online and I feel the video game industry is kinda scrweing me over.  I hate to use such un-eloquent terms, but although I love that companies are improving their products after release I do not like the fact that you need to be hooked up to the interwebs to get that special treatment.  I feel as though if the industry released the new content in disc form more often then it would be fair, but as most games do not do this it leaves me feeling like when I buy a game I am not recieving the full expierience and this has led me to a single conclusion.

Drones, countrymen, fellow offline gamers, I feel that we have spent too long in the shadows, and now are only option is to rise up against an unfair industry and demand we be given DLC in disc format or we will shave every chipmunk we see for the next twenty years.  I say this because if I threaten anyone with something worse my boss will kick me off this site...still it is a threat we will carry out for the good of the nation.  IF DLC is still refused to us then we may have to take the drastic step of purchasing the ridiculously cheap online services of these evil corporations, and actually hooking our systems up to the interwebz. Looking back on this post I can only see one moral: if you do not have live by this point your life is meaningless and you should get it, please it is necessary in the modern age of gaming.

If you do not have live then your enjoyment of certain games will be greatly diminished, and althouggh this is unfair in some cases I think that for the moment at least we are simply going to have to deal with tis by either accepting our games will not be as fun as before or find some means of obtaining online connection

or we could shave a LOT of chipmunks...both work for me

Here's what your not taking into account though. DLC is almost pure profit, I say almost because I'm sure Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo take a small percent of all transactions carried out on their service. Printing and shipping a piece of physical media however is a significantly more expansive proposal, this would jack up the price considerably, which coupled with the relatively short length of most DLC makes for an overall unappealing product. This is even more of a problem when you considered that the potential audience is already drastically smaller than most retail products as you need to have the original game to make use of the addition. So when you look at it there is absolutely no reason for companies such as Bioware, because we all know this was just a thinly veiled rant about not being able to play the ME2 DLC, to release download only DLC in a disc form.
