What role do in-game purchases or downloadable content (DLC) play in your gaming habits?

[Scorpion]

In-game purchases and downloadable content (DLC) play a significant role in my gaming habits, as they often enhance the overall experience. I appreciate when a game offers meaningful expansions or cosmetics that enrich gameplay without being mandatory. For instance, I'm more likely to invest in DLC if it adds substantial content, like new storylines or characters. However, I avoid titles with aggressive monetization strategies. How do in-game purchases affect your enjoyment and commitment to a game?

My approach to in-game purchases varies by title; I invest in extra content only when it significantly enhances gameplay. In some games, I’m happy with the base version, while in others, additional features make the experience even more exciting.
