Without the data mining, we'd never know this stuff was on disc. Would people react differently if this data wasn't on the disc, or are consumers just put out by the concept of DLC in general?
While it seems like kind of a sleazy move, the best thing for people to do is vote with their dollars. I've had to game on a budget for a while now, and while I'd love to pick up new games at launch (Skyrim! :() I'm saving a bundle by not. And really, I'm sure it's just a matter of months before there's a GOTY version of Skyrim with a ton of DLC already available, or a $20 release of the original game. Same thing seems to be happening with Capcom fighters.
I'm not really a fan of the genre (my fighting game love/expertise pretty much begins and ends with Smash Bros.) so my POV might be meaningless, but I love that Capcom thinks outside the box and throws in characters like Mega Man and Pac-Man. They're two of the most famous game characters of all time, and are the unofficial mascots of their home companies... they deserve a spot as secret characters.
