    I think it makes no sense for a publisher to split up a game and get less money upfront, unless they want you to pay more for all the pieces than one complete game would have cost you. Therefore DLCs are almost always bad for consumers. The only exception are full scale expansions, because they are basically full games themselves. If they want to let people get a taste before buying then they should offer a free demo, or full refund within a certain time window.

      Cosmetics are good examples as well, as a way to express thanks if you feel you’ve gotten your money’s worth. It’s just that it’s not even about that anymore. For the rest I agree 100%

        This also means that you can’t get them without spending an absurd amount of money for what you’re getting, so it’s just as bad imo. If you wanna say thanks to the devs then send them some money directly, or spread the word about how great their game is.
