I’m lacking better terminology for DLC (downloadable content) for games. Terms like “DLC”, “content packs”, “microtransactions” are used interchangeably, ambiguously and confusingly.
Here’s my suggestion:
<ul>
<li>DLC: all forms of downloadable content.</li>
<li>Box Product: the opposite of DLC.</li>
<li>Add-On: umbrella name for all expansions/microcontent, downloadable or not.</li>
<li>Expansion: larger addition of content, adds roughly 50% of original gameplay. Can be DLC or box product.</li>
<li>Microcontent: smaller DLC including sprite packs, level packs, etc.</li>
<li>Patch: free game update with bug fixes and features.</li>
<li>Bundle: collection of games, or game + add-on. Can be DLC or box product.</li>
</ul>
Do you have a better set of definitions? Please comment!
