well DLC has always cost money on top of the base game so i’m not sure what your point is.

edit:

you're ignoring that if you buy all DLCs you get much more content compared to old $60 games. If you want to look at this fairly you need to come up with some way of quantifying the content involved which is not easy to do.

I do agree that some DLCs are clearly designed as money grabs (like most premium/gold launch editions). But i disagree with lumping all DLC into that category, especially bigger expansions that release a year or more later.

    That the game is broken up into parts to charge more instead of, you know, making the game feature-rich in the first place.

    do you not agree most games ARE feature rich in the first place? I mean compared to old $60 games.

    The ones by big publishers? No, they're feature complete at best for the sake of the game loop but sell the rest in overpriced DLCs. The base game is the hook, that's why Epic keeps giving some away for free or are sold at a heavy discount on Steam. You only need to scroll down to notice.
