“I'm so addicted to this game. I really enjoy it and it's super cheap right now (discounted). You can enjoy it completely without the DLC, so don't worry—you can always buy it later.”

You can still enjoy the game even without buying a single DLC pack. And I'm against buying DLC packs here, as it's better to buy the next game…”
