Then why not just put it on the base game? Max Brass is clearly ready. this isn't DLC; its content ripped straight from the game.

That's not free dlc though?

It's free.

How about you fix publishers cutting advertised content and reselling it to you before you complain about free content updates.

But that's paid DLC. Of fucking course it's okay to something different.

This way it generates continuing interest for people to stay with the game for longer, plus it grabs free press with each update

He might be a late edition. Somehow good enough to be released as a boss but not polished enough to be a playable character on release

This is probably the most likely reason. It keeps active players invested because they know more content is coming to change the meta, it gets new players interested because the game is continuing to grow larger, and the fact that all of the new content is free simultaneously allows everybody to try it out while generating good press.
