Wow, this game is fucked up! Fighting a blind guy who throws trained parachute squirrels at you with TNT strapped to their back is certainly a change of pace to say the least.

I’m still not sure which term is more stupid: “Downloadable content” or “WoW-Gayness”.

It’s a difficult decision.

In fact, not even an acronym. Unless it can be pronounced as a word (“dilluc?”), it’s technically an initialism.

So sorry…

An acronym is an abbreviation, so you were right both times. Unless you go with what Wikipedia says is Bell Lab’s original meaning for the word, in which case DLC is an initialism, not an acronym, but still an abbreviation. Unless you consider DLC to be a proper, pronounceable word and therefore an acronym, and you’re looking forward to the upcoming “dalek” for Zeno Clash.

And I am looking forward to it. Not the DLC so much as the sale, since after the demo I figured I’d wait until this game was around $10. I didn’t expect that would be so soon! It’s the sort of game that even though I’m not really that into the gameplay mechanics, I want to play through it just to see all the wonderful creations of the developers.

Also, one of the developers on the Steam forum for Zeno Clash says it will be permanently price-dropped to $15 after the $10 weekend sale, just in case you only notice this sale on Monday afternoon.

Acronym, even. Not abbreviation.

Given that DLC is just an abbreviation for ‘Downloadable content’, and this is content, and downloadable, it is DLC.

It’s not DLC if it’s
a) Free
2) for a download-only game

It’s an update.
