Hi, I’d like to ask something about dlcs. I apologize in advance if this turns out to be a stupid question but I really have no idea about how game industry works. So… do software houses usually decide the plot of the dlcs together with the main game (or at least before the main game is released on the market) or they tend to wait for the audience’s feedback and then start planning accordingly? Like, when the game is out, a certain character ends up being very popular in the fandom. So… will they decide to focus the dlc on this popular character in order to give ppl what they want or they’re still gonna stick to their original plans? In a few words, could fandom popularity influence the plot of future content of a game?
