Oh yea, that is another thing I enjoy about the Nintendo ecosystem. I have co-workers who are single and still game a lot and the whole paying for add-ons to be competitive, or to get a feeling of completeness about a game and what not is something I really enjoy about the Nintendo ecosystem. Sure Nintendo games can have DLCs, but I've not met one yet where I felt like the DLCs were required to make the game feel complete or to be competitive (like map packs on Call of Duty). You can play BoTW without the DLC and still have a really good time, also really re-playable. Edit: Sure, Map packs weren't required. But it was shitty when all your friends had the map packs and wanted to play the new maps online and you didn't have them. But yea, I really hate the gambling aspects some of the big AAA studios have adopted.
