WWE All-Stars Leaves Too Much to DLC
With the reveal of the entire WWE All-Stars roster complete the glaring decision to hold back a third of the roster as downloadable content is already generating discussion. By announcing so many DLC wrestlers this early, and including some particularly popular ones in that group, it showed that THQ had planned all along to save them for the sole purpose of charging when they could have included them in the base roster.
