StarCraft Brood Wars Diablo 2 Lord of Destruction

People shit on Bethesda but they've consistently released banger expansions. Far Harbor was incredible.

Even the publicly acknowledged start of Micro Transactions "Horse Armour" was couched in decent medium sized DLC and The Shivering Isles

What do you mean by couched in this context?

I don't think the horse armor was part of a bigger dlc.

Oblivion had a LOT of post release paid content, most of which was decent value per $ spent, including a full on expansion. So while horse armour was a warning sign for things to come, Oblivion ALSO showcased the good side of paid post release content

That makes sense, thank you for explaining.

Now they just re-release the game over and over again and we buy that!
