  • and the version locked exclusives in each generation are day 1 dlc

    I can see how it would be seen this way, but imo the intention from the beginning wasn’t that people would buy both/all three versions per generation, it was to encourage people to trade with each other. Which absolutely worked when it came out. It was a totally new idea that definitely helped sell more people on the games, because they could connect with friends and trade or battle, with later gens adding even more features for when you connected.

    I could see making the dlc argument these days, but at this point you could also argue it’s just out of tradition.

    Imagine if you played monopoly but everything on the board was already owned by somebody else and the prices to buy any property from that other party were more than you start with and every time you go around the board all you can do is just do your best to break even.
