Come on, dude. If a company can keep milking money from a game and DLC, lootboxes and the like, it's in their interest for the game to be as good as possible. They're going to want it to be as attractive to new and old customers as they can make it. Bugs are going to be fixed. They're going to work on the balance with renewed vigor. Simple logic.

Because they have been conditioned to and know nothing better. With videogames the conditioning to throw money away in stupid shit now begins in the formative years, ensuring the children will never grow to be responsible.
>And there's also DLC to consider.
Which encompasses all kinds of shit from horse armor to hero rentals. It used to stand for actual playable content like plot lines, new maps and new gameplay mechanics. Now it has been coopted by the former and cannot be used in good faith to refer to the later (which we used to call "expansions").
