Cool do the same for the rest.
My thoughts on it: cool, now give it a headphone jack again and I might buy it.
I'm not buying a phone that requires $100 wireless earbud DLC (which honestly feel like just another thing to become e-waste in a few years when the battery gives out).
You realize dlc stands for downloadable content, right?
You realise DLC was originally referred to an expansion that was released a while after a game's initial release. But now game developers are pulling half the features from a game, with those features being put in a DLC instead.
So the original comment labeling the practice of a feature being pulled from the original product and put into a separate product is apt and valid.
... the fact that I realize this is why I think it's a weird way to use the term.
Headphones are not downloadable. They're not even software. Also I don't game all that much anymore but I've yet to play a game where I "needed" a dlc, I don't think I've ever even bought one.
I have, on the other hand, bought 100 pairs of headphones
You get that analogies exist right?
The original commenter used the term "DLC" to paint a pretty precise mental picture. And you got hung up on the semantics.
It's a clunky analogy. I stand by that, and rightly so.
It's actually less of an analogy and more of a "look I'm a cool nerd too" type comment
