I should not need to explain this one.

It's actually funny how this all happened THIS October. Reinventing the wheel over and over doesn't work, people!

To be fair the "DLC" isn't actually available until 2026, what they have released now is basically a pre-order, still scummy but not as bad as you're implying. Edit:for clarity, they didn't cut anything out of the game, they just have a pre-order for the DLC.

If before you've even finished a project you've already decided part of it won't be included in the original project unless the user pays extra, that's the definition of scummy.

Isn't that what all DLC is? The The expansion you can buy right now is basically just pre-ordering the DLC in 2026, like a season pass.
