Phil Spencer Criticizes Manipulative DLC Amid Starfield Expansion Debate

Xbox boss Phil Spencer has expressed his disapproval of "manipulative" DLCs that don't offer unique content, emphasizing that Xbox doesn't enforce mandates on game expansions. He believes expansions should have a distinct perspective rather than just being content cut from the original game. Spencer's comments come amid discussions about the recent Starfield expansion, Shattered Space, and the successful Diablo 4 expansion, Vessel of Hatred. He highlights the importance of balancing development efforts with the impact of expansions.
