I know this is a bit different and I also know Larian and their games, but the “it’s only cosmetics” DLC stuff also gets very heavily criticized by a lot of people because, “they could have put it in the base game” or something. I don’t really care about cosmetic DLC’s, but a lot of people do. Horse armor yada yada, you know the drill.
I’ve always viewed Digital Delixe thru the lens of a collectors edition without the $200 statue. Horse armor is how we got to $20 for a skin in Overwatch. They aren’t entirely unrelated but are genuinely different product categories.
I mean what if Skyrim had locked Dragonbone (or whichever) armor behind a 10$ paywall. Sure, it wouldn’t be 100% necessary to beat the game, but it would still suck.
Which is what 90% of day 1 DLC is for most other games.
It would be fine, but it’s the mightier than thou attitude and the blind exceptionalism from rabid fans that makes this so hypocritical.
Ive had a look at the supposed Day 1 DLC. Its mainly cosmetics and crossover items from Divinity Original Sin 2.
From the steam page: “All as awesome as they are wholly unnecessary.”

I have never really played Skyrim. Is that a cosmetic armor? If so, I wouldn’t really care about it.
It’s not. It’s the best armor in the game.
Then it’s not really a good argument
it’s also free for anyone that played in early access.
in other words, if you didn’t buy the base game before reviews came out, you don’t get the whole game unless you spend more.

they said complete, its not complete. stop giving them credit for lying to you LOL.
so i can’t get the complete game without buying it because it has in-game content. cool.

Fortnite skins are also unnecessary
fornite is free to play, that’s not the same as a game with a box price locking content behind more payments like this.
