So uh, is this a good thing? Do we really want to repeat what happened to Payday 2 and have 50?
Edit: Sorry, my mistake. There's 81.

Hmm, are they just breaking off parts of the "full' game to piece meal for more $$? Sounds like it's primed for a battle pass too...
Yep, a disgusting habit the big gaming studios have gotten into. At this point there's no reason to get games like these as soon as they drop. Better to wait like a year or so for the collection to come out for 20 bucks. I'm finally getting bl3 just now and I'm sure my experience will be somewhat improved having all the bug fixes and updates. It really is a shame but I for one don't ever see myself paying 60 dollars for a game just to be sucker punched with the rest of it released as dlc. It's so unfair and they should be losing sleep at night. Sorry for the rant.
They've confirmed there won't be a battlepass. And I'm not going to complain about them offering more content down the road for anyone willing to pay, especially considering it'll likely get a massive discount at some point.
I'll take this traditional DLC model over a battle pass model any day.
I love a full price game that's been stripped apart and sold in installments.
Yeah, no. I already know my main's not coming back; and I'm not about to humor devs who hacksaw off pieces of the full release to make DLC caches again.
