Sorry, but none of that is actual downloadable *content*.  It doesn't
unlock any activity, character class, place or story in the game.
This is an imporant distiction because many free-to-play games encourage
you to spend money by locking actual content behind a paywall.  None of
the stuff in these bundles really alievates the grinding you need to do
progress in the game.  Also, most of the stuff in the bundles is I've
gotten for free, some many times over.

 My favorite MMO, which is probably LOTRO at this point, requires you
to either pay for content piecemeal, or pay $15 a month to get access
to it, or grind out the points to get it for free. But that is a
considerable grind.

My favorite is still City of Heroes, which is now running off Homecoming and free, no MTX.
