Is it? I mean, Diablo expansions have been a thing since the very first game. I'm certainly not against DLC for the games I like if the content is good and have never been, even when the content wasn't "DL" and came in CDs.

Yup, I'm the same way. I love good DLC because they generally provide even more value for a game I know I enjoy. Quite often, I enjoy a $10-15 DLC more than a $30-40 game.

That said, I'm not paying $100 for a DLC, or even $50. I'd maybe do $50 if it had the same content as a sequel, but was sold as a DLC for whatever reason, but it needs to have fantastic reviews.
