DLC existed in some form long before digital-only releases existed. We just used to call them expansions, and people used to buy them in droves.
Edit: All those downvoting me clearly weren’t alive during the shareware boom, or during EA’s early attempts to extort players for the pleasure of having a potted plant in The Sims. This outrage over DLC is just an echo chamber of angry gamers who aren’t the target audience anyway.

It’s not like they locked those games away never to be seen again.
