I take it you were never aware of The Sims and its "stuff" expansions?

DLC existed in some form long before digital-only releases existed. We just used to call them expansions, and people used to buy them in droves.

Edit: All those downvoting me clearly weren't alive during the shareware boom, or during EA's early attempts to extort players for the pleasure of having a potted plant in The Sims. This outrage over DLC is just an echo chamber of angry gamers who aren't the target audience anyway.

This isn't a team shooter. It's a multiplayer Pokemon-style open-world RPG.

Cosy games are meant to be relaxing, almost stress-free experiences that revolve around repetition and reward playing them in small doses each day. I can understand why hardcore gamers don't like them, but at the same time they're not made for them.
