Studio size has nothing to do with it, the only important matter here is whether the DLC is "required" or not. I'm fine with BS cosmetic DLC, that really doesn't matter, but when you promise features X, Y, and Z, and deliver X and Y but gate Z behind a DLC, that's unacceptable. I don't care if you're have 1000 employees or 1, that's wrong.

DLC should be for:

  • optional items, like skins, soundtracks, etc
  • additional story content not promised in the original release
