Saying a $60 base game having $20 DLC makes it the same as an $80 base game is just silly.

Is Pokopia now a $105 game because of the expansion pass? No.

"What's the difference in Nintendo charging $60 for FEFW and having a $25 expansion and just charging $80 for the game?"

Presumably the $60 full game + $25 expansion would have more content than the $80 game. You're also weirdly assuming $80 games won't have paid DLC.

Presumably, But what about actually? 

Pokopia doesn't fall under these examples because they did make you pay for DLC. And yes, it would be $105 if you want the full game. People wanted DLC for TOTK which was $70. That would have made it an $100 game to get the full experience intended by the developers. 

Well we have an actually in Mario Kart World that was $80 and has 30 tracks. It has less tracks than base Mario Kart 8 and far less than MK8DX or MK8DX + Booster Pass. There is zero evidence $80 games will have as much content as $60 games + their DLC had.

So no the price increasing from $60 to $80 is not a guarantee that games will now have more content than they did before.

Additional content is additional content, you don't need it to have the "full game". This is all just very silly.

If they started charging $80 but gave everyone the season passes for free maybe you'd have a point, but that's not what's going to happen. It's a price increase simple as that.
