I take it you were never aware of The Sims and its “stuff” expansions?
Comment on Life Is Strange: Double Exposure's Cat DLC Is, In Fact, The Worst
dinckelman@lemmy.world 5 weeks agoThat 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.
“Exclusive cat content” 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 doesn’t change history, and certainly it doesn’t change the vocabulary.

Just because EA claims something is an expansion on the box, does not make it true.

Factorio Space age is 4 expansions in one package. We definitely still buy proper expansions.

Each new planet is basically an overhaul mod. They did a great job incorporating the best parts of Space Exploration, Krastorio, Seablock, and a couple mods that either they made up entirely, or I didn’t know the names of.
