Personally I would've much preffered it all to release at once, because now, by the time all the content was out I had already moved on from the game.

Well nothing is stopping you from coming back if you are interested in the new content. When you say moved on what do you mean exactly, were you satisfied with the game?

Actually the fact that my Wii U's HDMI ouput stopped working has made sure I can't play Splatoon. As for what I mean by that I moved on, see your own reply to Ültra. I never intended to play Splatoon forever, so I'd have preferred it if all the content was there when I did play it, instead of Nintendo "forcing" me to go back to it after 4-5 months (stopped playing it in august) if I wanted the full experience. While I was satisfied with what I did play, that's irrelevant really. I would've enjoyed it more if I had access to all content from the beggining.

Now, I know you'll just say that I could've waited for all content to release, and technically speaking, that's true (even though the reason I did get Splatoon was that the Splatoon bundle was the only Wii U SKU they had available). But that's like saying that games with day one DLC is okay, because after all you can just wait for 12 months and buy the GOTY edition with all DLC included, for the same price as the base game cost at launch. I mean, you get all the content, including the DLC, and you pay the same as those who bought it at launch did, right?

In the end, I don't like this business practice. It was a great move for franchise building and sales, but it was hardly a great move against consumers.

I can see different views on it.

Personally, I lost interest in Splatoon overtime

 

That happens with every game though, people just lose interest and/or get more interested in other things. No game is played forever by everyone, but like you said the updates likely helped extend it's life for some.
