> maybe soon after showing crazy profits this kind of crap is coming for all of their beloved franchises in mainline titles.
It's possible, but I'd worry more if it starts showing up on their own consoles, instead of mobile titles that exist mostly to get people interested in playing on Nintendo's own hardware.
Which isn't to say that Nintendo doesn't do weird things with DLC elsewhere—there was a 3DS game where you could purchase minigames with real money, but let you haggle with the seller in-game to get a better price.
That’s what I mean. I worry about DLC packs for the new Zelda that gate out core content instead of mostly supplemental stuff like the BotW dlc. You could imagine them selling the master sword DLC again and making some dungeons just not work without it because weapon durability is too low or something
