2K Confirms DLC to be on the disc

Payable DLC confirmed to be unlock code
2K Games community manager Elizabeth has confirmed that the Sinclair Solutions Test Pack is indeed present on the disc you already have:
Hey guys,

I noticed there was a bit of confusion about our Sinclair Solutions Tester Pack file size, and I wanted to clear things up for you. The way our engine and game structure works is that people need to have the exact same content for people to play together. One of the challenges with post launch content for MP is that it can split the player base, and we want to avoid that whenever possible. For this content, creating the DLC package the way we did allowed for us to not split the player base – so whether you purchase the new content or not, you can still play with your friends.

I know some of you have strong beliefs about DLC, and I'm not here to sway your opinion or convince you to buy our stuff - if you like what we're offering, I hope you get it and enjoy it. If it's not your speed, enjoy BioShock 2 as we released it.

I want to let you know that DLC is not interfering with our patching capabilities, which are a top priority and are still being actively worked on. We're committed to supporting you and making BioShock 2 the best experience possible.

I hope this clears up a lot of the questions and confusion in this thread!

Thanks,

-Elizabeth
If I read this right, it means that they've screwed up multiple ways.

1. They release DLC that isn't DLC but just an unlock code for something you already have (but still have to pay for)
2. They do it this way because they are incapable of doing it otherwise
3. If they WOULD do it differently it would most probably split up the entire userbase between those that did buy the DLC and those that didn't.

Does that qualify as incompetence?

"creating the DLC package the way we did allowed for us to not split the player base" - so, no more DLC for Bioshock 2? It would split the player base!
