While I agree EA and Paradox are lazy in making DLC, studios should absolutely not be aiming to make every DLC like Shadow of the Erd Tree. That would only lead to studio closures and developer disappointment when they ultimately fail to meet that very high standard.

I would rather developers stick to making something that they realistically can, that way they can finish it and get the satisfaction of completing a DLC they wanted to make than get burned out making something with too big of a scope for their team.

I think i worded it wrong, aiming to be was meant as in taking notes on what it did right and doing something similarly right With their product. It wasn't meant to mean that they all need to put another game into it or aim for impossible things.

Ah, I see. Then in that case, sure. As long as developers take the note that they should make the best product that they possibly can, then I agree.
