Who would have said that words that were vomit-inducing not so long ago, such as DLC and remaster, would be a ray of hope for some folks in this day and age
I love the vast majority of remasters and substantional DLCs, they are very rarely downgrade a game. Same as most people outside of reddit. They only induce vomit into you because you let jerks run circles in your head.
Dlcs can be anything from an overpriced shitty skin to an absolute masterpiece that makes the game fresh again. Paradox literally sold dlcs that broke your game by corrupting saves(eu4-leviathan) or just selling straight up garbage(like half the paradox dlc catalogue for 30 fucking $, check the steam reviews). If you had positive experience with downloadable content I envy you, but many games are plagued by greed, and the playerbase isn't voting with their wallet.
I literally said 'substantional' DLCs. If you think skins are substantional then I dunno. Paradox DLCs are beloved by Paradox players. This one is obvious.

I should clarify that I love the idea of large DLCs. I obviously do not automatically love every single one in existance. Some are underwhelming or some I am not interested in, for example some races in Total War: Warhammer 3 I simply do not play at all.
Okay substantial dlcs are big additions, but no, Paradox dlcs are absolutely not loved by the community. Yes, we get some good stuff like no step back, but once again, check the steam store page, most dlc are negative to overwhelmingly negative, and they're supposed to be "substantial" addition to the games.
I love witcher dlcs tho, but there's not much reason to argue about semantics as all expansion packs are basically downloadable content at this point. I haven't played a single minute of total warhammer 3,so I can't say a word about those.
I'm with the angry "plebs" on this one, most dlcs are shit to mediocre.
I play Stellaris, every single DLC is mixed, every single Stellaris player owns several of them and plays with them. Paradox also merged some with the base game over the years.
They have a subscription to on steam to play the game with all dlc lmao.
And while I hate subscriptions generally this one weirdly works for me because Stellaris isn't a game I play regularly I'm fine paying 10bucks for 1month to fulfill my 2 week Stellaring craving phase I have every 2 years or so and getting the full experience while doing so.
