What's missing from the DLC debate

Something that I don't see mentioned with this debate is the consideration that these packs can also be purchased for 1 credit.

I'm absolutely not saying this makes it a good thing - certainly not. It still reeks of money-grubbing and hypocrisy, especially when HF has already released free packs of independent IP-related assets. I especially resonate with the point that Derf made in his video, that these assets heavily hint that we won't see a free version of frog-folk, leg fungi, monkey features, etc etc. Despite those being heavily requested things.

However, saying that these packs are a slap in the face for Pro subscribers because they need to pay an extra $24 on top of their subscription isn't correct. For a Pro sub like me, the packs are just over half our free monthly STL/digital downloads. I regularly end the month with some credits left over and so have a stack of them. Using three for this isn't wildly egregious in itself.

Again, I'm not condoning this as a business move from HF. Just trying to make sure the discourse happens with full clarity and information.
