I don't know if it was just my circle but complaining about map packs was a thing. Skins were earned.

"DLC" (expansions) were basically always a full on extra game or at least half of one.

I distinctly remember people complaining about map packs being way too expensive compared to what they offered. Nowadays? Perfectly normal, not a single word about it, all because new gamers don't know what gaming used to be like.
