I could see them failing to deliver.

Medieval TW2 will be 20 years next year, and they haven't really to manage to improve on that in any meaningful way.

Everyone hated defending of unwalled defended settlements in WH3, and while they made some changes, I still autoresolve all of them just to avoid having to deal with them.

Only 6 of those are actually DLC. Ogres were a pre-order bonus race. Blood for the blood god is a .99 cents addition that's been around since warhammer 1, probably to avoid a mature rating in certain countries, immortal empires is a free bonus campaign, "upgrade" pack is most likely some free heroes and graphics update.

You're both right. There are a lot of, I'll call them "extras" you can buy for TW:WH I II & III but they're not really DLC's. All of those races and lords show up in campaigns whether you buy them or not. Chaos Marines could very well be in at release just not as a playable race yet. Steam tells me I have hundreds of hours without buying even half of the extra lords so I'm more than willing to give 40k the benefit of the doubt.

Did you even read that?

...also, uh, I want them to keep releasing content for these games. Do you think all those DLCs were ready to go but they held out to slow drip them for money over the years? Regarding TWH3 you can only make that argument for Ogre Kingdoms.

I mean I could argue the finer points of the list you posted and the one below, but all you need to know is that Paradox puts out so much DLC that they have a subscription models for EACH of their games expansions.
