That is far from normal. If these are free dlc, then that’s great, but this is more and more regular updates that they are locking behind a paywall. Many of them are not just cosmetic, and are entirely new guns that are overpowered enough to become the new meta in order to complete certain heists on certain difficulties. Some are brand new heists, too. They even added loot boxes two years after saying they wouldn’t (although they have rolled it back since then due to the predicable negative response). It’s always been a cash grab, and it’s unfortunate that it appears they may be falling back into old habits.
Yeah, no. I already know my main’s not coming back; and I’m not about to humor devs who hacksaw off pieces of the full release to make DLC caches again.
They’ve confirmed there won’t be a battlepass. And I’m not going to complain about them offering more content down the road for anyone willing to pay, especially considering it’ll likely get a massive discount at some point.
I’ll take this traditional DLC model over a battle pass model any day.
Yep, a disgusting habit the big gaming studios have gotten into. At this point there’s no reason to get games like these as soon as they drop. Better to wait like a year or so for the collection to come out for 20 bucks. I’m finally getting bl3 just now and I’m sure my experience will be somewhat improved having all the bug fixes and updates. It really is a shame but I for one don’t ever see myself paying 60 dollars for a game just to be sucker punched with the rest of it released as dlc. It’s so unfair and they should be losing sleep at night. Sorry for the rant.

So uh, is this a good thing? Do we really want to repeat what happened to Payday 2 and have 50?
Edit: Sorry, my mistake. There’s 81.

Hmm, are they just breaking off parts of the "full’ game to piece meal for more $$? Sounds like it’s primed for a battle pass too…

I love a full price game that’s been stripped apart and sold in installments.
