That should not bother you, because it means you have more of a completed experience than you would have thought you had - GOTY, Complete, etc are usually the ones I go towards too.

My count as of January 4th 2025.

I don't regret having them but, given that I'm against how most publishers use DLCs to sell content that should have been in the game since launch or, in my opinion, useless cosmetics, I still feel a bit like an hypocrite for owning so many of them.

But it's really easy to just end up with a lot of DLC. There's always a bundle of some sort that includes DLC as well, or maybe a bundle with the DLC included costs only a little bit more. Or maybe there's something you really wanted and it didn't cost an unreasonable amount. Additionally, only few games get major expansions only anymore. Nowadays it seems quite common to split things into smaller pieces, sometimes even really small pieces, so it adds up quite quickly. I don't think I've bought all that many DLCs either, but somehow I own almost as many DLCs as I own games. I've bought some for sure, but I'm not exactly eager to buy DLCs. It feels like it's only a few games where I've bought a notable amount of DLCs, even them mostly in bundles, yet here we are...

And to clarify, I'm not exactly of the way DLC is done today either. On the other hand, I don't really mind cosmetic stuff, because I can just stay away from it and let others pay for the increasing development costs to satisfy their vanity (not that I too don't have that, but I keep it in check).
