What’s modern gaming convention that should no longer be practiced?

AAA companies releasing games that are basically early-access with zero thought or content.

AND just to put the salt on the wound, adding content that SHOULD have already been integrated with the core of the game, as purchasable DLC.

We, (speaking for just myself really), want a full complete game, that’s all we’re really asking for.

I have never forgiven Destiny for ending the base game when the storyline was just getting good.

Can’t believe they then hid the rest of the story behind dlc. Like a game should ship with a beginning, middle and end and only enhance the story more with new branches in dlc.

I’ll never forgive Destiny for putting initial parts of the game behind a DLC paywall that “rotates in and out”.

“Sorry, you can’t do this week’s Nightfall as it requires TDB dlc.”

If a game releases with certain attributes, then those attributes should always be present, DLC should only add to the chassis of the game, never detract from it.

One thing Mario Kart 8 does right is letting you race on all the dlc tracks if they come up online even if you don't have the dlc
