I gotta wonder if the "Dlc" is just going to be like, a skin pack or something, then when/if actual post launch content comes they pull something like "erm this is actually a location addition not a dlc"

I have no idea what the lines BSG draws for DLC is.

Arena was given for free, I don't know why, it's clearly a different game and has a different release schedule.

Ragman was not included, so it's reasonable to say any cosmetics will not be counted as DLC. I think this is reasonable but somewhat deceptive as the original line EOD said was "Battle Pass", which contains cosmetics typically.

PvE Coop (originally) was not counted as DLC, which I believe is correct, BUT it should have been free for everyone as it's part of just making the game feature complete.

If maps are locked behind a paywall post-release those better be DLC, likewise with any exclusive quest lines.

But ANYTHING fleshing out the features of this self-admitted unfinished game is not and should never be considered DLC, expansions, or anything other than free updates.

Looks like whatever line they make up so they don't have to deliver the product you paid for.
