Remember in the old days of gaming (PC gaming in particular), months or even years after a game was released, the developer would release an Expansion Pack that added a ton of new content to the base game? You rarely see Expansion Packs anymore nowadays. Now its all DLC; downloadable add-ons ranging from laughably superfluous, (Oblivion Horse Armour) to massively huge.
