I assess the contents of the game as-is with its current price, determine if I want it, and pull the trigger or don’t. What it could have or might have or might have separated is immaterial to me to be frank. If you gut a bunch of stuff and make it DLC to the point where the game is no longer worth the price, I’m probably passing on your game. Ultimately I just don’t want to participate in FOMO or guessing nonsense and companies that do it don’t get my money.
If you’re a good company and your mtx or DLC make sense then I’m all in. Suzerain is a great recent example.
