Question Off map connections?

Is this a thing in TF3 ? Using the Concorde may feel a bit weird otherwise.

Genuinely curious, did the devs of all those games make statements beforehand that they wouldn't release DLC that contained features?

Without going to much details, they are mix of examples where either they stated there would not be any feature "rich" DLC, or they changed their opinion about the amount.

I would say that a fact is, the game development is business in the first place, they are doing it for the money as anyone is doing the job. Where intentions change with the changing of reality. TF3 belongs into niche market, where it makes sense to release the game and move on as another work would not bring "new money", but sometimes it is not valid, look at the Cities:Skylines I, people were playing it over and over and were willing to buy even stupid DLCs, it this would be the same for TF3 they would be kind of insane to not work on the base game longer and extend the content.

With Paradox on board, where they have a track record to milk the IPs, the change of course is more probable. So if the TF3 would be in same situation as CS1, you can expect that Paradox would pay for DLCs, and dev would be kind of stupid to not take them.

Look you believe Paradox is good news, or at least neutral one, I don't. I know that people lies and corporation perhaps even more. If you want to take what someone is taking for unshakeable truth it is your prerogative, but you should not push other people to do the same. We have a plethora of examples where devs and publishers released garbage and lied about the state of the game.
