>>58845389Teraleak revealed that all games after SV are now designed with DLC in mind thanks to how SV's DLC went overbudget because it wasn't programmed for it.
PLA did get DLC, but as a free update that added a few more things to do in the postgame. I guess in Game Freak's eyes, new Megas and more Pokémon added means customers have to pay up.
>>58845641OP's probably stupid, misinformed, or baiting.
I'd rather have a complete game on release with no updates except for bug fixes, but having DLC as a free update is better than a paid one that costs as much as what the entire game should've costed for the value offered.
