You're right that it is weird. It's because we use MTX and DLC almost synonymously and that's because there's a lot of overlap. They're overloads terms and we need a better vocabulary to talk about the specifics. For instance I think if Dragons dogma didn't sell resources and sold only the deluxe edition parts then there wouldn't be that big of an outrage about MTX. The outrage is about the in game resources being sold, but it's hard to present it that way when the only word we have for it is MTX, which also contains the part that is not the issue.
