    This.

    Sequels for video games from AAA studios since about the advent of lootboxes (or even earlier when it comes to EA) have basically just tried to sell you the same game as the first one, but with all the fun bits removed to be sold to you as DLC. Now it’s starting to happen with smaller ones, too.

      Expecting sequels to start with the same level of content as it’s predecessor which has had years of free and paid updates is unrealistic and is not going to happen.

      You can keep on playing the previous game (even games like CSGO which have been replaced by its sequel can still be played on Steam) and you propably should if you’re missing the content of a specific DLC. It’s a sequel, but it’s also a different game which may develop to be a totally different kind of game.
