I find this argument really annoying / entitled.

Are they supposed to increase the scope of every iteration in the series and take an extra few years to make each one, or are they supposed to never release DLC? which would make you happy?

    Yes because it's a new game, putting all the features they developed in the previous base game and years of DLC would take them a long time. This is how software development works. They don't just have everything feature toggled off....

    You make it sound like they start from scratch with every new game.

    Many core mechanics are different in each game, and even if they kept the code identical for the DLC mechanics the bulk of the work is asset creation, balancing, etc.

    There's no universe in which you're right

    I would like it to come out with the same number of win conditions that the previous ones had. diplomacy was a base feature in at least the last 2 games before it. it wasn't a dlc feature before. they removed it this time, then added it back as dlc. they do shit like that every time.
