I dunno. Honestly.
And afte so many posts where I hate both the word DLC and whatever is behind it, I just can't help myself not to open a thread about it so I don't have to explain every time what gets me mad.
And the reason is Kotaku's article about DLC:

There are many types of DLC and it's unfair towards players there is no real categorization. This article above pretty much sums up differences when it comes to DLC:
They forgot to add the plague of so called season pass invention, something I find pretty scandalous as you're paying upfront for nothing but a price drop on something you don't even know what that something in the end will be.
Anyhow, I'm sick of the whole thing.
I play mostly singleplayer games and once I finish a game I want a proper sequel or a proper expansion where I don't need to install the game back just to experience some new crap item or a mission a few minutes long.
And now while writing about it I got angry. Again.
Instead of adding more bitterness now, I'll take a pause on this so I can return to it later with a cool head. If possible.

The term DLC has a lot of meanings these days. First, there are generally good (sometimes even great) add-on chapters like we saw with The Last of Us and BioShock Infinite. Then there are "explandalone" expansions like Assassin's Creed IV: Freedom Cry and Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon that don't require the base game to play. And of course, there's the nickel-and-dime stuff, smaller map, weapon, item, and costume packs that are sold for debatably worthwhile prices in free-to-play games or full-price games like Battlefield 4 and Call of Duty. Sometimes it's hard to tell what's real and what's a joke. It's a mess, and it can be a pricey one.
