Someone I know wanted a recommendation for a multiplayer game recently. One of the games I remembered existing was Payday 2. DLC and subscriptions involved? Never-fuckin-mind.

You boycott a game because it has DLC? That’s silly. Especially for PD2 which developed over years and added many times the content of the base game. And if you want to play a DLC mission you don’t even need the DLC; only the host needs it.
IMO paydays DLC policy was and is generally good. Recent price changes non-included.

I do, because it broadly displays a bad approach. If a thing should be in the game, it should just be in the game. There is no reason the developer has to gate things behind a payment. Terraria, Minecraft, Stardew, and so many others, all managed to keep adding content without pretending that DLC was anything more than a way to pay out for shareholders. The invasion of microtransactions into gaming has been nothing but harmful, deceptive, and malignant, and I refuse to participate.
