@madscientist They're both very popular shooters on steam that get a lot of media coverage based on the money they make and the communities they've built around in game items that can be purchase with real world money. Often for rather large amounts of money on rare and collectible items. These items are purely cosmetic but have created millions in revenue and are considered to be a large part of the reason these games became so popular. PC gamer recently did some really interesting articles about the topic if you'd like to look into it. I've gone a bit off topic with that though. Now that my comparison has already been made

You're kind of right about dlc imo. As of late its become very unfriendly to consumers. Generally speaking that is. Larian definitely deserves praise for their nonconformity. I believe wasteland 2 is also getting a free enhanced edition type upgrade on a new engine with lots of fixes and improvements. It's great to see that recent crpgs have stayed consumer friendly even after attaining success and recreating a user base.
