Downloadable content

Downloadable Content (DLC) is a method for developers and/or publishers to extend the monetization of their products for a longer period. This practice is not inherently anticonsumer, such as Factorio's Space Age DLC being regarded as paying for a new game according to fans, however, companies such as Electronic Arts and Ubisoft have been known to abuse DLC to break up their complete products into multiple purchases with no regard to the consumer.
