What day 1 DLC? The Deluxe edition cosmetic stuff?

That's called a micro transaction, yes.

That's a courtesy for people who didn't pre-order but want the dice cosmetic. It was originally a pre-order exclusive but they changed it when asked to.

Just clarifying what you meant. I thought I missed something. DLC to my mind is like... an extra race or somthing a bit more relevant than purely cosmetic stuff. Not going to argue semantics here, fair enough to call that a micro transaction and it's certainly DLC.

Even excluding the cosmetics, this DLC includes the soundtrack. I haven't purchased it myself (yet), but I'd imagine that a soundtrack to a game with over 200 hours of cinematic would be rather extensive (again, I have not seen it, so I don't know). Even if it's only 30 to 40 minutes of music, at $10, that's at least on par with the cost of most albums anywhere else. I feel it's got to be more than only 30ish minutes of music, though, so, for the album alone the price seems legit.

Just to add more information about the sound track, it is 43 tracks in both MP3 and WAV formats. The runtime of those 43 tracks is 2:26:57.

What one of those items prevents you from having enjoyment in the game? You just start with a lil cool cosmetic cape. It's not a battle pass.
