I’ve just read it quick.

This brings so many new things that this could have been a standalone game, but they decided to make it a DLC. Now everyone is upset that it’s an expensive DLC.

It’s like a $60 Mario Kart shipping with 16 race tracks and then they sell 16 new race tracks for $30 instead of releasing a new game on the same console with only the new courses.

Gamers do this stuff -- what feels like -- all the time now. I don't get the DLC hate. Not every instance of "give me more" needs to be an entirely new full price game.

These courses have a lower quality than the base game tracks, I think most of them were just straight up ported from the Mario kart mobile game.
