đJokerLife Is Strange: Double Exposure's Cat DLC Is, In Fact, The Worst
dinckelI miss when we were able to have a single price tag, pay the price, and get a complete game, at launch date
grayhazeDLC existed in some form long before digital-only releases existed. We just used to call them expansions, and people used to buy them in droves.
That is objectively a false statement.
Phantom Liberty is an expansion. Shadow of the Erdtree is an expansion. Knights of the Nine and the Shivering Isles are expansions. Echoes of the Eye is an expansion. Bad Company: Vietnam is an expansion. All of these amount to a third, to a half of the total game content. We used to buy them, and will continue buying them, because they add absolutely insane value to what you already really liked.
âExclusive cat contentâ that can only be obtained through a 30$ upgrade, and includes 3 new costumes, and whatever the hell cat content is, is dlc. This adds nothing of value for us, but lines the pockets of the studio shareholders quite substantially.
Just because the large players in the industry are complicit, it doesnât change history, and certainly it doesnât change the vocabulary.
I take it you were never aware of The Sims and its âstuffâ expansions?
skulblakaJust because EA claims something is an expansion on the box, does not make it true.
That was my point.
