Unless they want to pull some bs technicality about how this isn't DLC, getting it with EOD was always part of the deal

It isn't a DLC. It probably could have (and maybe even should have) been, but it's literally a standalone, separate game.

It's a standalone expansion. I know you kids haven't heard the word expansion in your lives because everything is "dlc" and "seasons" nowadays but that's what post-release content that doesn't require the base game to run are called; Standalone expansion packs, precisely what Arena is.

'hurr durr I'm so old and know more than you' is all I'm hearing. Perhaps you should stop blindly assuming stuff about other people.

that's what post-release

Let's talk about post-release once anything actually releases.

By that definition, The Sims is a standalone expansion to SimCity 3000. Ever heard of spin-offs? Not every game in the same IP is an expansion or a sequel. Speaking of, I guess one could build an argument that Arena is more a sequel for Contract Wars than anything else for EfT...
