Which begs the question: why are they so expensive if they add nothing?? Really silly business model.
because sometimes they can put new and important features behind a dlc paywall, like adding the entire system of intelligence agencies behind a dlc paywall for a game about the second world war :))))))
I think they're obligation DLCs made at low cost to fulfill the deluxe edition promise of "3 free DLCs" or whatever. They did the same with CK3.
From a production standpoint it probably makes sense to have some smaller DLCs just after release because most of the team needs to work on patching large release issues.
As for the price, it's just greed.
