Uhhhhh.
You know an expansion pack literally is DLC, right? Like, downloadable content?
Either from the 'net or off a disk.
I mean I know it wasn't always true, but in this day and age it's not really a meaningful semantic distinction anymore.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
An expansion pack can be downloaded yes. But that doesn’t make it DLC.
I know I can be confusing, but DLC in common parlance seems to mean a pack of small or disconnected elements. It could be cosmetic items, a single level or mission, or whatever. The point is that it’s largely independent and stands alone. If it didn’t, then the game would be incomplete without it.
Expansion packs are larger, and the content more tightly integrated together. It’s a much larger package, and the content more substantial as such, since you aren’t picking and choosing, but getting an interconnected dump. So they often completely change the game.
I hope this makes sense.
