I was still interested 2 years after Elden Ring came out for its DLC because Fromsoft's DLC has commonly been like expansions of old.

Maybe if the industry actually made expansions more than drip feeding meaningless, smaller bits of content, people would stay interested longer.

It's not like the desire for old school expansion packs went away. Y'all just stopped making the damn things.
