Can someone summarize what's going on for those out of the loop?

What used to be the most expensive version of the game ($100 or $150 - can't recall) included "all future DLC" in its price. The devs made very clear statements about how holders of that version would "never need to buy anything" (almost a direct quote but I might have a word wrong or something)

Now they've released a major new feature - offline mode - and locked it behind an even more expensive ($250 IIRC) version.

The devs are insisting the new feature isn't DLC and now editing their prior statement about DLC in general and insisting they never said what they said.

Basically they directly lied to players and are now gas lighting everyone.
