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.
  
  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.
- 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".
- Who's mad?
- 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.
- “It’s a one-off game,” Yoshida tells me. “We’re asking players to pay the full price for this experience, and so we want an experience that’s going to equal the amount of money that players are going to be paying and we want them to have satisfaction equal to what they paid or even more than that.
  “We have no idea if people are going to fall in love with Valisthea and fall in love with Clive’s story and want to see more of the world and more of its characters,” Yoshida says. “So while we always want to consider DLC or spinoffs or those types of things where you can learn more about the game, first we want to see if Valisthea and Clive are really things players around the world want to see more of and then make that decision.”
  More like fuck modern gamer reading capability am I right? Literally the same interview. Read more than headlines. This is the same crap takes you see on reddit, and we should take the opportunity to do better here.
  
  The last mainline game they released was an incomplete mess that they couldn't even fix with like 5 DLC's. Then they lead their answer with "it's a one-off game." The quote you posted is complete marketing double speak, and IMO it's completely fair to criticize. Yes, fuck modern gaming.
  but also, chill out
