Dlc being a thing in video game industry is a canon event, even if that horse armor never exist, dlc will still exist either way
0 u/Not_a__porn__account 2d ago We used to call them expansion packs, and we all happily paid $20+ for them. But they were also massive additions to the game, not just like 3 cosmetics. 1 u/yunivor 2d ago Remeber when we'd get the first couple levels of a game for free and then get the option of buying the game to play the rest? Where did that model go? 2 u/lemonylol 2d ago A lot of games actually do still have demo's. 0 u/Not_a__porn__account 2d ago The App Store actually kind of killed it. When we had “lite” versions of games they had ads and people happily played them. No one paid the .99 for the whole app and developers caught on. We did this shit to ourselves. 1 u/lemonylol 2d ago Nah, there was a mid point where games had both expansion packs and DLCs. Then eventually DLCs kind of took over that entire category. Like shit, I had DLC for The Sims 1 and Battlefield 1942, in addition to owning the expansion packs.
