Another one of those then/now "how video games are made" image macros.

This is pretty close, but if the image creator had wanted to be even more accurate, they should have removed all of the sesame seeds from the bottom part and marked each one, individually, as a microtransaction. ¬_¬

Note: There is no actual "Expansion" pack in the Now Burger.

(No fries or drink. You're spending all the extra cash to finish getting the original game.)

Pretty much, yeah.

Of course, given how things have started going lately (http://kane-magus.livejournal.com/765446.html), they'd probably just call the meat patty itself the "expansion pack," as though that somehow made it different or better than "DLC."

Even if they called it the expansion pack, it'd still show that real expansion packs are still no longer available. :/

Which, of course, comes back to the crux of the problem, as it always does: all the fools out there who buy into the feel-good propaganda horseshit and mistakenly believe that it really is the rebirth of the old school "expansion pack," somehow better and truer than all that other evil, totally-not-the-exact-same-goddamn-thing "DLC."

The fools eat their meat patty that they paid extra for and are glad to have it, thinking it's a good deal. Meanwhile, the short order cook who sold them the hamburger is standing there laughing at them, counting all that extra money they parted from the fools, glad that they no longer have to waste time cooking an actual vat of fries, since the fools are content with just the bun and meat patty. And the rest of us can do little more than complain that there are practically no more burger joints to be found out there that simply sell a whole fucking cheeseburger, regardless of whether fries and drink are available or not.
