So tell me, what's the difference between a DLC that gives you access to new outfits, and a microtransaction that gives you access to new outfits?

"DLC" typically refers to game expansions with substantial content additions. Conversely, smaller downloads/access-right purchases are cheaper and have less content, so those are referred to as "microtransactions".

I explain all this to point out that you basically just asked "So then what's the difference between microtransactions and microtransactions, huh?"
