I mean, it was in an article where they were assuring people there wouldn’t be DLC. I mean obviously they didn’t say “there will 100% not be DLC”, but why make comments to the media saying “we’re not planning on DLC” if you were still toying with the idea of DLC.
Did you play Final Fantasy XV? That game planned DLC from the start. It impacted the game heavily. Some of the DLC never even got made.
They said it wasn’t planned for XVI because it wasn’t planned at the time. But also to let people know that the base game wouldn’t have pieces missing from it. It’s truly a completely standalone experience and I believe that DLC was only an afterthought at that time.
But also, companies say all the time that they’re open to stuff, DLC, ports, sequels but nothing is planned yet. It’s really common. Sometimes they go do those things, sometimes they don’t. That’s what “not planned” means.
I mean, it was in an article where they were assuring people there wouldn’t be DLC.
Which article is that? From what I remember the sentiment was basically “FFXVI is meant to be a complete experience, no DLC required. But if it’s successful and there is demand for it, it’s possible we’ll work on something in the future”.
This would be different from many games which have DLC planned and worked out during the development of the main game, before it’s released.
This feels like a pretty big overreaction from my perspective. As far as I know, they never promised to never release expansion content, nor does the existence of an expansion make the original game “less complete” retroactively.
Either way, I also don’t see what about this is “Modern gaming sucks”.
Lol 6 months ago, “this is a standalone game. There will be no DLC.” Fuck modern gaming.
Those things are not mutually exclusive. The game may not be a fan favorite, but it definitely is a complete standalone game.

You people really will misunderstand and get mad about any thing, won’t you. Haha.
Who’s mad?
Gamers
I don’t think that’s what they said. They said they had no dlc planned and that they wanted to see how it did before deciding what to do next.
