10 Ruthless Video Game Easter Eggs That ROAST The Competition
5. d.l.C - The Witcher 3
The Witcher 3 takes disseminating its competition to a whole new level because instead of targeting just one or two video games, it takes on the entire gaming industry!
In the Blood and Wine DLC, in one of the early main missions, Geralt investigates a riverside where someone went missing. Using his Witcher sense, you need to search the river for clues, and one of the items you can find in the process is an embroidered handkerchief with the letters "d.l.C." on it.
When you pick up the piece of cloth, Geralt will remark how "d.l.C." definitely has to belong to a nobleman, because it looks very expensive for something so small.
This small comment may not sound like much at first, but it's an obvious dig at the practice of releasing overpriced DLCs with little to no content.
The Witcher 3, with its two excellent and affordable DLCs, is basically flexing to the rest of the industry that it's better than them while simultaneously laughing at them for their corporate greed.
Seeing how the market is these days, the shade seems very much deserved.
