What in your mind is the difference between a free update, which you can download, that adds some content, and free DLC?

I’m confused, what dlc? This is a year old trailer for the pristine cut which was a free update.

Updates are usually automatic (at least in the modern days with Steam), and DLCs are optional.
DLCs are also usually a paid affair, unless they’re explicitly referred to as “free DLC”. Not sure if you worded it that way or not, came to this post after you edited the title.

Okay so by that definition, this one is a free DLC. Glad we got that cleared up lol, that was why I described it as a DLC.
I don't think of DLC as having an explicit connotation of either free or paid, it can be either. Whatever. I've now edited the title again to what I should have titled it in the first place. Hopefully everyone can put this to bed and move on to some other equally urgent internet disputes now.

Yeah, the news tab on Steam also doesn’t mention any DLC. And I’m fairly sure that the devs are hard at work on episode 5 for their other game.
I guess it was posted here to spark a discussion about the game?

IDK what is the panic about the distinction between a game update and a game DLC. I posted it because I played it and it was awesome and I wanted to let people know. In any case, I edited the title to say "update," hope you're okay with that phrasing.

Personally, I was a bit confused if maybe a new expansion was announced (be it DLC or update). I didn’t really read the title thoroughly, sorry.
I’ve only played Scarlet Hollow and I liked it a lot. Glad to hear their other game is good as well.
