For we make a stand for what we believe. You never fight this war alone.
Wouldn't that be a kick in the teeth eh? You pay 40 bucks for the season pass, and one of the five "major" DLCs is just a race, that you more than likely won't ever play. Why would I restart now?! I'm an EGO 1,000 with legendaries and a white Challenger. I'm not about to throw that all away just to play as a lighter toned version of myself. (Casth)

Just passing through ladies and gentlemen, like what you see? Then speak up.
Maybe the DLC is really awesome and they don't want to give away details. New co-op maps, missions, time trials, not to mention the Volge.
why?
Because in all games before this, when you are so close to launch, you must fix bugs. If you hint at new release, especially something that may cost money, people come out of the woodworks to complain that the money grubbing suits should fix their sh^&%$y product before grabbing for more cash.
Even though they probably have separate teams that fix bugs and create new content. People just don't get it and have to complain. Everyone is up in arms about broken this, or hacked that. They can keep the trolls in place a smidge better by focusing (at least on the boards) with bugs instead of new content.
If you can change the way people react, then maybe they will change how they communicate.
I'm surprised if most people don't already realize this, but I'll just say it. And it is an opinion, but it's one formed by experience with previous games - so it may end up applying to Defiance, or it may not. It's really up to each individual to decide.
When a company suddenly spices up an existing pre-order offer with something really juicy (example.. a red Dodge that happens to be "the fastest vehicle currently in the game"), that's usually a sign that said company isn't overly thrilled with the reports showing the number of pre-orders placed on their product. The addition of the new bonus is meant to turn that around and get people pre-ordering.
Likewise, when a company offers a pre-purchase bulk discount of a year's worth of upcoming DLC (but offers little to nothing in the way of details), it's probably safe to make the assumption that maybe they're not overly confident that said DLC will be popular enough to sell very well once it's actually released.
In each of these cases, it's all about making as much money up front as possible before something (like your satisfaction with the way the game is shaping up) makes you change your mind.
The game has only been out a few weeks. If a dlc came out so soon i'd get that "they are selling me on disc dlc" sickening feeling
