The second of those is not fan friendly, it is a company taking a chunk of money from Gamestop in exchange for removing part of their game and offering it as a Gamestop exclusive, which is the one company you will never find a day one monetary deal on (credit, lowered price, etc).
Trying to lead people to only purchase their games from Gamestop is the opposite of fan friendly.

I have no problem with retailer-exclusives. I'm sure there are at least some situations where dlc, etc only exist because some retailer wanted an exclusive. I'd rather those add-ons exist than not exist at all.
