FOMO generates extra dollars for the gaming industry, both PC/console gaming and board/tabletop games.
Two words. DLC and Expansion.
Both represent additions to the base game. The call is strong. After a conversation last night with a friend about this very point I learned there is an expansion to SmallWorld I didn’t know about, and there are some expansions for Sid Meier’s Civilization VI that I don’t have.
Immediately, I want to buy them. Knowing full well I’ll never use them.
I’m not the only one.
