This is like saying, hey here you have resident evil, but you can't play the game without buying the main character first.
Even if they left out mercenaries, it wouldn't be an integral (read necessary for completeness) part that was left out. Simply because RE isn't about that, its about the narrative.
Saying something like always has been is really wrong aswell, that's like saying the engine of a 86 toyota sprinter trueno is harder or just as hard to build as the one in the 2009 nissan GT-R.
As technology furthers, far more time and effort is needed to build assets for a new game, or do you think the models in UT99 takes as much time to build as the ones in Gears of War or Crysis?
Building a good 10000 polygon model takes far more time then a 500 polygon one (obviously), then all the time that goes into making the million polygon models in zbrush or mudbox for normal maps.
This brings us back to the simple thing called time, every game project is tied to deadlines and these are pretty strict. If they had -such- an easy time just packing these games with content, why do you think games get delayed a lot?
Or why Namco pulled Splatterhouse from bottlerocket?
Deadlines. Heard of crunch time? No? Look it up. (hint, its taxing as fuck on the developers).
The bottom line is as games get more technologically advanced, everything takes far more time and money to build, yet here we have RE5 which basically offers everything RE4 had and more, looks stunning and delivers on everything integral, yet people want to get paranoid about this versus mode?
Capcom worked their asses of to deliver this stellar production and the only concession they made was to make the game shorter then RE4, simply because the game wouldn't be out right now if they aimed to make it as long, which they prolly did, but scrapped a long the way....the term for that in the industry is called "kill your darlings" and it hurts when you have to, but deadlines are deadlines.
Then aside from this all is money, these are still huge companies that operate in the entertainment industry, ofcourse they -want- to make money.
I'm not really defending these business models, but Capcom and every other big company really don't care about the bitching and moaning about some dlc, they only care about their fiscal years, which are 99% driven by the actual game sales.
So bitch all you want, it really isn't going to change anything, unless you stop buying the games all together, if anything episodic content could become more frequent, since that relieves some of the time constraints the developers have.
Nothing should be considered to be free, not in the entertainment industry.

You may expect certain things from a product, but that product completely relies on time, effort, money and skill in relation to deadlines. Its not a machine that is making it.
The production values of this game are pretty much the highest in the industry at the moment.
So complain all you want about that "gamers" shouldn't stand up for this, but it isn't the "gamers" that are buying content like this, instead "gamers" go onto forums and blogs to bitch and moan about something nobody is forcing them to buy.
Hey no extra costumes in SF4? Sure its kind of a dick move, but would those costumes suddenly make the game that much better? Heck some of them are worse then the standard.
And please don't tell me you bought RE5 to get a wonderfull adversial experience.
I mean most of the people are even bitching about that it wouldn't be fun anyway to play a "mobile turret", then why even bitch an moan that it isn't in the game in the first place? Is it so bad to just play single/coop/mercs?
Gamers now are just spoiled and expect a game to be filled with tons of content even if they won't use some of it at all.
Excluding patches, nothing should be considered to be free, everything costs money to make even if it is just a few lines of code. If something is free be happy, if it isn't well either get it or don't.

If you don't think that there's a possibility that we'll start getting less and less complete games in the future because of what game companies are getting away with nowadays, then there's no point in even trying to discuss it.

Aside from Halo 3, they're rarely played and aren't even really in much rotation within the game you buy it for

This has to be one of the best co-op games I have ever played..
This game is just so much fun if you play it together with a friend!
