People complain about the total cost too get everything in The Sims, but I don't remember anyone complaining about the total cost of every song in Rock Band.

Lol I absolutely complained about the cost of songs in Rock Band and Guitar Hero. I started playing those games in Guitar Hero 2 and refused to ever pay extra for additional songs. I guess in my mind, that was vastly different than paying for stuff like Stellaris DLC since I felt like I was being nickled and dimes.

I take that back though. Now that I think about it I might have paid for the Trogdor song... unless that was included in the base game.

I think that trogdor was free (and he comes in the niiiiiiiiight)

Trogdor was a man. I mean, he was a dragon-man. Or maybe he was just a dragon. But he was still TROGDOR!

My friends definitely did. Granted, we had varying taste in music so there was always a little bit of something for everyone. If we only played it single player we might only have bought a quarter or less of everything.

Sims on the other hand, a lot of expansion packs are features from prior games cut up into small chunks and given new animations then sold for ridiculous amounts of money. After sims 3 I promised myself to never buy another sims game knowing damn well it would just be a constant drain on my wallet if I ever wanted to stay current or enjoy anything close to a complete experience. You certainly can enjoy just the vanilla base game, but everyone who ever played this series before knows you most of the expansion packs if you want to play as intended and experience the good stuff.
