DLC has been around for years, they're called "Exapansion Packs".

The difference is, Expansion packs in years past contained 1 of two things;

1.) A relatively inconsequential pack of content that isn't necessary to enjoy the overall experience of the game. More cosmetic than substantial content.

Or

2.) A huge add-on to the game, that, while not necessary to the original, expands it massively to the point where it is almost a new game itself, thus justifying the additional cost, as it cost the company a fair sum to design and distribute itself.

New DLCs being done are, instead, vital parts to the overall game experience, but also small enough with little enough content to not justify the extra price.

Could you imagine the Freelancer storyline without Juni? But would you have paid $20 for her?
