Just clarifying what you meant. I thought I missed something. DLC to my mind is like… an extra race or somthing a bit more relevant than purely cosmetic stuff. Not going to argue semantics here, fair enough to call that a micro transaction and it’s certainly DLC.
Even excluding the cosmetics, this DLC includes the soundtrack. I haven’t purchased it myself (yet), but I’d imagine that a soundtrack to a game with over 200 hours of cinematic would be rather extensive (again, I have not seen it, so I don’t know). Even if it’s only 30 to 40 minutes of music, at $10, that’s at least on par with the cost of most albums anywhere else. I feel it’s got to be more than only 30ish minutes of music, though, so, for the album alone the price seems legit.
That’s a courtesy for people who didn’t pre-order but want the dice cosmetic. It was originally a pre-order exclusive but they changed it when asked to.
$10 purchase for soundtrack, dice skin and some DSO2 cosmetics that everyone who bought the game in early access gets. This allows everyone else to purchase.

What day 1 DLC? The Deluxe edition cosmetic stuff?
That’s called a micro transaction, yes.
What one of those items prevents you from having enjoyment in the game? You just start with a lil cool cosmetic cape. It’s not a battle pass.

“no additional purchases” their words, not mine.
I’m not even disagreeing with you and that quote didn’t show up anywhere in this thread? But alright, you do you.
the developers made the claim.

Just to add more information about the sound track, it is 43 tracks in both MP3 and WAV formats. The runtime of those 43 tracks is 2:26:57.

This is a really stupid hill to die on my man
they’re the one making the claims, not me.
But you are the one tilting at this windmill.
What’s the transaction?
$10 purchase for soundtrack, dice skin and some DSO2 cosmetics that everyone who bought the game in early access gets. This allows everyone else to purchase.
So if you don’t get the soundtrack, there’s no transaction?
