The base game is already pretty packed, at least it was for me last time I played and it was 10/10 experience as they say.

Why does the headline seems to say new paid DLC is a problem? Considering this is the second one and there has been a shitton of bugfixes and QoL patches (and will be as the article itself says).

I don't think the headline suggests paid DLC is a problem, but I do think they know exactly what they're doing when they phrase it that way since nickel-and-diming corporations are such an inflammatory topic. What the intended meaning should be is simply that they made some paid DLC, followed by some free updates and QoL fixes, and now they are planning another paid DLC. Simply a timeline of events.

And of course, not giving the name of the game in the headline is a classic and obvious clickbait tactic.

Sorry, Klei. I quit when you sold us out to Tencent.

Awwww, fuck. So they did. Gotta have access to that Chinese market...

I would love a meaty DLC or expansion, but the way they phrased their announcement makes it sound very much like they're going the Paradox route of creating a million DLCs that are absurdly overpriced and will cost you an arm and a leg for the complete collection
