Planning DLCs before you've even launched the game should be illegal. So pretty much. They are planning to release an unfinished game where micropurchases rule supreme so everyone gets on the same content level.

Hey you bought the game? Cool. But if you wanna play with us you need this this and that DLC pack. It's only an extra 40 bucks.

I dont want to defend this kind of monetization, but pd2 probably had the best kind of approach, as only the host needed it start it, so if someone had it in your friend group had it you were good. Well exept for the weapon and perk decks, as you only got them if you had the dlc, but it didn't split the playerbase. (also fuck the loot boxes)
