The first game was a cult classic full of bugs because of how early it was created in the source engine’s life. It exists only because a small passionate fan base push past the bugs created patches. This is not an IP where you can say fuck you pay me to the audience, especially in the current gaming climate.
Additionally these aren’t new clans they chose the most popular clan that most people chose for their first play through,
We have Vampyr, we have v-rising, we have Blood Of The Dawn walker coming. We’ll all wait for the inevitable GOTY version in a year or two.

That’s what gets me. Just looking at the original game and projecting it forward, if the Nosferatu or Malkavians were the ones locked behind a DLC, it would still be shitty, but it would at least make sense. They might be fan favourites, but even then they’re still clans that people usually recommend for a second playthrough, not a first. But the Toreador? Come on! That’s just extortion. Why not lock the Ventrue as well, while you’re at it?

Didn’t even need to mention which clan and you got it.
I mean, because I already knew which two clans it was. If I had had to guess, it’d have been a tossup between Toreador and Ventrue for me.
Nosferatu would make sense because it’s one of the most drastically different ones that requires a lot of work to implement.
