Valve's method of offering free downloadable content for their games is rubbing off on other developers, including Relic Entertainment. In a new chat over at Strategy Informer, Relic's lead designer of Warhammer 40,000 Dawn of War II states that players can expect a bunch of downloadable content for the game after its late February release.

Jonny Ebbert is quoted as saying, "...we're going with the approach that Valve pioneered to just reward the people who actually bought the game with cool stuff. Free downloadable, regularly accessible stuff that enhances the game and then that's an incentive for the people who didn't buy the game to buy it." Details on what it will be like will be released in about a month, roughly when Dawn of War II is due for release in stores.
