8 Video Game DLCs That Broke EVERYTHING

5. Pretty Much Every DLC Character In Smash

It might seem like a bit of a cop-out to wave a white-gloved hand across the slew of DLC characters that have rocked up in Smash Ultimate as of late and decry them all as "overpowered" but trust me to any Smash fan worth their salt, there's something truly fishy going on with these downloadable duellists.

In an effort that seems to be purpose-designed to motivate players to purchase them, each time a new face arrives on the scene, they've absolutely smashed the faces off literally everyone else!

And as we all know, if a new character is dominating the rankings, you're going to be more inclined to buy them in order to keep in the competition. Then after a few months of running rampant, a series of nerfs will bring them into line just in time for a new fighter to begin the cycle all over again.

Gee, it's almost like it's planned? What a coincidence!

All conspiracy theories aside, the impact this has on the game is quite noticable, flipping the table with each release and requiring patches to set the cutlery up again so we can all sit down and feast on some fists and fighting fun.
