Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 will now contain all clans without DLC after backlash
"Thanks to our community for the frank feedback on Bloodlines 2 and the Premium Edition. That feedback made it clear: Lasombra and Toreador belong in the base game, so that is what we are doing," said Marco Behrmann, White Wolf Executive Vice President and Bloodlines 2 Executive Producer.
"Sorry we couldn't get away with it" vibes
Realistically, this game’s got bigger problems than what its DLC strategy is.
I'm just waiting for the reviews to see if it's another Redfall
From the gameplay footage, it looks like a studio that’s only ever made walking simulators before is making their take on Dishonored. Maybe that’ll be pretty good, but I’d be surprised. What it certainly isn’t is an RPG that’s anything like Bloodlines 1, lol.
Okay the barest minimum possible has been achieved, now bring back hardsuit and make a game worthy of its sire.

The publisher is paradox isn't it? They've done this with nearly all of their recent games.
The only difference is that the games they published are left to die after the backlash and the games developed in house continue to be developed but with a slightly less invasive dlc policy for a few months.
