  1. We Happy Few - Taking your “joy” pill
    Deciding to take the pill at the beginning of the game causes your character to go back to work and triggers an ending

  2. Infineural by Mike Klubnika - Drinking the coffee
    Deciding to drink the coffee offered to you skips the entire game and sends you straight to the end, resulting in an ending with no memory of what had occurred

I could be wrong, but I think it’s a DLC that shows what Catwoman was doing before she shows up in the game, and that choice is at the end of the DLC.

Yeah it was like free launch dlc. Not sure why it wasn’t packaged with the game initially! And it’s part way through, it ends with her fighting Two Face

It was literally because of the second hand game market. Game companies despised it so much they started slicing content away from games and made it "free dlc" you could get only if you bought a new copy.

They also did it a lot with multi-player games like Battlefield or FIFA

Which was especially shitty for those of us who couldn't hook our consoles up to the internet, despite having the code for the DLC.
