Ive had a look at the supposed Day 1 DLC. Its mainly cosmetics and crossover items from Divinity Original Sin 2.

From the steam page: “All as awesome as they are wholly unnecessary.”

I know this is a bit different and I also know Larian and their games, but the “it’s only cosmetics” DLC stuff also gets very heavily criticized by a lot of people because, “they could have put it in the base game” or something. I don’t really care about cosmetic DLC’s, but a lot of people do. Horse armor yada yada, you know the drill.

I’ve always viewed Digital Delixe thru the lens of a collectors edition without the $200 statue. Horse armor is how we got to $20 for a skin in Overwatch. They aren’t entirely unrelated but are genuinely different product categories.

I have never really played Skyrim. Is that a cosmetic armor? If so, I wouldn’t really care about it.

it’s also free for anyone that played in early access.

in other words, if you didn’t buy the base game before reviews came out, you don’t get the whole game unless you spend more.

Fortnite skins are also unnecessary

fornite is free to play, that’s not the same as a game with a box price locking content behind more payments like this.

Which is what 90% of day 1 DLC is for most other games. It would be fine, but it’s the mightier than thou attitude and the blind exceptionalism from rabid fans that makes this so hypocritical.
