That’s where ME3 did something right. When they said they had DLC lined up they openly said “This will NOT be taking place after the main game, this is mid game DLC” so people were free to buy or not buy (and I did not, like I won’t be buying any Act 2 or Prologue DLC if CP chooses to release it.) It’s been ages though, so I’m not sure how long it took them to announce it, and it’s the holidays now so obviously CDPR is hanging out.
It’s just unfortunate timing and it leaves everyone here to simmer in the bad feelings and assume the worst. I want to know noooow.
