Sakurai calls DLCs these days a scam

How is this Day 1 DLC? Those are physical goods you can get if you want. They do have extra costumes in them, but they are collectable goods you can get or not. I don`t really see how this is Day 1 DLC.

It's ... DLC that is avaliable for a fee on Day One.  Day One DLC.

I mean, you can get them or not?  That's true for all DLC.  They're literally developing DLC and putting it on toys so more people will buy them.  Exactly as he said, they're doing it on Day One because that's where the money is at.

And why do you assume Sakurai isn't criticizing that? Your problem is you account Sakurai for Nintendo. He isn't. He has left Nintendo some years ago. He did now two games for Nintendo (while basically one of it was in reality working for Namco Bandai) and another game without involvement of Nintendo. I think saying a hypocrite because of other stuff Nintendo does is unfair, because he isn't Nintendo. As far as I know Splatoon is included in his remarks.
