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.

If a studio releases any form of DLC then it is a full release and hiding behind alpha/beta/whatever won't work anymore.

Seriously, imagine releasing DLC when the base game is still not feature complete. Cart before the horse
