Do you care about DLC's?
I know the pain... Just bought some stupid cars for Grid 2 a few days ago on sale X)

And you also bought it because all the money from the DLC will go to charity =)

Depends on the DLC. For DLC that introduces story content, I want to have it, for DLC that are cosmetic or introduces some minor items, I can usually live without them unless there's something extra fancy. Cheat DLC are a big no-no for me, any DLC that introduces items or other things that are only there to make the game easier are best avoided, in my opinion (and I'm still of the mind that things that just acts as cheats should be free).

This is also how I feel. I will add to your list, that I skip are more maps for the multiplayer side of the game.

same here.
I mostly buy DLCs if they are expansion packs. Sometimes I also buy DLCs if they add playable classes (War of the Vikings) or a minor visual feature (blood in TW), but I don't like what these developers are doing.
I also buy cosmetic DLCs for most of Paradox' games, because I think they are incomplete without them, but I don't think high of Paradox because of this practice

I must have all gameplay content in single-player games, and preferrably weapons, items etc. Sometimes I want cosmetic dlc's, sometimes I don't. I barely play any multiplayer so I don't care for those dlc's for most games. I would never buy a dlc that has no content, like for charity or something.

Only interested in DLCs if they add a reasonable new amount of content.

Only the good DLCs .
Like for example the Borderlands 2 DLCs , some of them are amazing , they add tons and tons of extra content to the game , so thats totally worth it .
Then you have shit like this : http://store.steampowered.com/app/347154/ ....

I kind of don't like it when a DLC adds achievements because it pressures into playing it - unless it's a good one. For example a grindy game getting a DLC with more grindy achievements is trash, if it adds nothing worthwhile to the game. While story DLCs for Dishonored also added achivements, and it's the bloody bee's knees, it's awesome :)
Generally speaking I like DLCs that give extra content - either more gameplay time with new areas / new story sections (like Knife of Dunwall in Dishonored) or adding replay value by variety , for example The Wrath of the Lamb for Binding of Isaac (technically it adds new things, but the gameplay basics stay the same)
I don't really like map or skin DLCs - if I buy them, then the main reason is it being cheap, or me wanting to support the game with more money. For example Magicka 1's dlcs are varied - challenges, bonus story for the main campaign, bonus new campaigns, and skins. But even skins give new mages with different weapons, staffs and robes - possibly different melee attack, bonuses for casting elements and strenght/weakness/speed based on the robe, essentially adding new characters to the game.

If there is more content made to give you some extra hours of your playtime and making it worthwhile, then yes.
If there are pointless skins for your characters and weapons and also charging for these, then no.
However, if I get a game that is heavily based on DLC's cough PAYDAY 2 cough and doesn't include them all in the GOTY version, then it's a straight no. This is just milking the game long enough till the devs or publishers decide to say "Fuck it! Let's abandon it. NEXT GAME!"
Borderlands 2 is an exception. Sure, the GOTY version doesn't include all of them, but it's significant enough. It leaves 6 DLC's out (I know, they should have included these as well), but if you're a guy who doesn't have the time or patience to experience everything, then these 6 DLC's are not for you, but if you're a completionist, then get these on a discount, they're not worth the standard price.

For a lot of games, such as the Fallout or Civ games, DLCs make it an entirely different game. So yes, I care.

Depends on the game. Some games have good DLC that's worth getting, and others have just a slew of garbage that either adds nothing to the game or should have been in the game in the first place; it really depends on the game and the DLC, though I prefer complete editions if possible.

I almost always purchase them for games I enjoy. And yes, I realize it's an industry scam going in.

Me, personally I can't live without owning all DLC's in a game, but I'm even more obsessed with playing all the games in the series. With exception for Mafia, of course, as it is too expensive because it isn't on Steam anymore. But I'm wondering, what "person" are you in this situation?
And of course, it does depend on what the DLC offer. Didn't add that to the poll, and now it's too late ;-;
