    The DLC is content in the video game.

    That’s why you can see it, even if you haven’t paid for it.

    Welcome to the conversation.

    For the love of god, do not make me rub your nose in this a seventh time.

      Yes, I know how DLC works. And I disagree with your blanket opposition to all DLC ever.

          I’m done playing your weird word games. We’ve been talking about a concrete example, one where you say this example is pReDaToRy simply because it involves DLC, and I take issue with you drawing that line. You can’t pretend you’re actually saying something else at the same time.
