This is the first time I know of that a company literally made the paid DLC alongside the game itself, and are simply releasing it for a lot more money instead of just including it with the game. The whole point of DLC is that it is EXTRA content made after the game, which is why it isn't part of the game itself.

Dragon Age II released with paid DLC day-one -- fourteen years ago. There have been dozens of games with day-one DLC since. In almost every instance it has been extremely optional content -- which is the case here as well. The story content isn't releasing until February and isn't likely finished for release. 

Edit: Pokemon games are much more affordable than in the past when you would have to buy the third-version for more content (and the second version to get all Pokemon more or less.) 

I remember having Pokemon Gold, Silver, and Crystal (all $30 games) in 2000 - 2001. That's about $172 in 2025 USD.
