Deluxe editions for games usually come bundled with DLC for a cheaper price than buying them and the game individually. Take older Call of Duty games for example, where buying the game and each DLC would cost a total of $120, but the deluxe edition with the same content would only cost you $100. So if you knew you were going to end up buying all four DLC, getting the deluxe edition was much cheaper.
In this particular game, I don’t know exactly what will end up in the deluxe edition but there’s already $72 worth of DLC so I imagine a lot of it is going to be included.

Question wasn’t rhetorical. I really don’t understand the purpose of deluxe editions nor their importance.
I always just assumed people spend the money because they like spending it.

Follow-up question: how much does DLC actually tend to change the core game?
Are these just aesthetics or does it change things hugely?
