    Back in the old days (90s), games on PC used to get expansion packs (thinking half-life and other titles) where were DLC but just packaged and you still had to have the original disk. I don't think of DLC as too much different however QA was generally higher when you had to release a game without the possibility of bug fixes. I'm okay with DLC if it's fairly large in scope as it reminds me of these old expansion packs.

    However if you're going to have microtransactions, just make the game free in my opinion. Lots of the free games make lots of money just on cosmetics these days. To be fair they are quite large games with AAA studios.
