That said, the tracklist on this thing is pretty solid. It's still a decent value, but honestly, it would've been nice to just have it cost $60 and come with everything. $40 USD for 101 songs with $20 DLC, in comparison, seems like a step back.

Future Tone had a similarly strange release, in that the title was essentially split in half and released in two $20-ish packages, but that was a bit more palatable with over 200 songs. The base game has 101 songs, which is nothing to sneeze at, but launching with content locked behind a paywall is a bad look. The immediate gut-punch, right out the gate, is that MegaMix will launch with 36 songs locked behind DLC.
