Amid continued frustration and confusion from fans about how much the Nintendo Switch 2 and its games are going to cost them, we've learned that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 edition doesn't come with the Expansion Pass, meaning you'll have to pay an additional $20 to play the DLC on the new system.
Nintendo somehow keeps finding a way to make this worse
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.

Every single game dev out there charges for season pass and dlc? Every single one

Yes, when the game is new. Then, when it’s been out a while, the standard practice is to bundle the DLC together with the base game at a lower price.
Bad timing on this comment, with Larian releasing 8 new subclasses for Baldurs Gate 3 for free in a few days.
