It's a shame that it's been delayed on PC for a year.
- If this is a cheeky shot taken at Epic, I think it's Epic exclusive "forever" (however long EGS lasts), since Epic is publishing it.
I don't understand free DLC. Just put the content in an update?
- To me, updates and DLC serve different purposes. Updates are for bugfixes, new features, feature enhancements, etc. DLC is new game stuff, like additional characters and levels and so on.
  
  I agree with your interpretation, but I really wish publishers would go back to calling additional levels or story content an "expansion" instead of DLC. It's a lot more clear and differentiates from other types of content like a character costume or a soundtrack.
- I get it if it can reduce game file sizes, like for post-game content/standalone content
