This isn't even industry standard - charging $10 to "upgrade" a game, yes, but as far as I can remember the DLC is always included with the game at the base game price when it's been out for a while.
I hope Nintendo's extreme arrogance and greed bites them in the ass. Will probably have to wait a year or so after launch to know since I'm sure it will take that long to get Switch 2s to all the diehards with money to burn. I'll be interested to see how it sells to everyone else.
Every single game dev out there charges for season pass and dlc? Every single one
Yes, they charged for it years ago on the last gen system. This type of rerelease usually includes the DLC in the package so that they can go back to charging full price for a game that's no longer in the zeitgeist and not worth as much as a brand new game.
