DLC Didn’t Exist the Way It Does Now
Recommended Videos
DLC did exist in the days of Atari 2600 GameLine and the Genesis Sega Channel. Later offerings were seen on the original Xbox in the forms of Halo 2 Map Packs, but the earliest signs of DLC as we know it today, both in terms of scope and pricing, was seen in Harmonix musical game Rockband.
Rockband released song packs on a weekly basis for a handful of Microsoft Points and dollars, from 2007 all the way to 2013. Now, we see weekly DLC in the forms of characters, stages, game modes, and much more.
