DLC Coming To Disney Infinity? Maybe!

I have stated many times that I didn’t think DLC (downloadable content) would be coming to Disney Infinity, at least not for a couple of editions from now…. I may have to eat my words

John Vignocchi seemed to have hinted that DLC could possibly be in the future of Disney Infinity…

So, as he said, they have ‘data’ (meaning they have done research into the possibility of adding DLC into the game) and that he can’t talk about it ‘… yet’.

That would seem that there is a good chance of it coming right?

So now for my take… Adding Downloadable Content would be awesome. I think we all can agree on that. How the system works now is that ALL the content of Disney Infinity is currently on the disc. So every figure, playset, toy box toy, toy box game, etc. is all on the disc for the game.

All the figures/discs do is act as a ‘key’ to unlock the content.

Adding DLC would allow the developers to make the game, but if they don’t have some figures done yet… they can always add them in later! That would help with the big spring/summer drought we go through with Disney Infinity.

The problem we hit is that you can’t assume that every customer has their console hooked up to internet.

In addition, at it’s core the game is still marketed as a game for younger kids/family games. And DLC is a very touchy subject when it comes to games (How many times have you read about kids purchasing content on mobile devices?).

Lastly, from a pure marketing perspective. I would think it would be a nightmare to have figures that say “this figure only works if you download the DLC”. That would confuse a lot of parents!

I’m interested in where this will lead.

How do you think Disney could accomplish adding DLC into the game?
