I just minded how Bethesda forced me to buy it. If it had been optional, I wouldn't have cared, because I could have just not bought it and saved my money and then had no reason to complain.
Serious question: How was it forced? (Or was it just such a glaring omission that that in itself was what forced the purchase).

I never bought it ~but I might have gotten it in a bundled sale if it's in the GOTY edition, I'm not sure; never used it or saw it in-game.

That is simply incorrect. Your definitions are wrong. Old World Blues is DLC. EFLC is DLC. And they are awesome. We're not playing semantics game as much as you are refusing to use a word to mean what it actually means, because you'd rather pretend everything called DLC has to be a bad thing. You're trying to redefine the term into "DLC only denotes" when it factually does not. What's the point of that? Just use words to mean what they mean. Especially when the post you initially replied to clearly explained different types of DLC.

I do not see much of an explanation what differentiates patches (fixing game-breaking mistakes) from free DLC (fixing mistakes in design or expanding the game for free). CDP:Red didn't work on any of this Dark mode or arena stuff prior to release. They crafted and released it for free, post-release DLC. I can not see the problem in that.
