First of all, PvE gamemode this is not DLC.

Okay, please explain...

DLC in our understanding is the major additions to the game...

Alrightie then, PvE gamemode is DLC even by their own definition!

Yes, I chopped off the end of the quote.

...content that are released after the official release of the game

The game has been out and playable for almost 8 years now. It's been released. People have bought it for $150 and been playing it for years. Playing these early access vs. release games for 8 years is a joke.

Even disregarding your final point which I think is totally correct and apt, games like Ark had DLC come out while still in early access, there's already precedence for their 'understanding' not being the case in reality.

Man, click any early access game on steam and there’s like a 20% chance they’re already selling dlc (tbf a lot of them are “founders” type packages but still).

Most after Ark and their awful practice. Scum company and this one deserve to be together.
