No, we do not add any individual in-game purchases here, only add-ons/DLC.

In World of Tanks, for example, there are new tanks and package sets every week, and they are only available for a brief time, and that would be thousands of entries.

However, some of these appear on PSN/SEN or Xbox Marketplace as DLCs where you can buy them normally independent from the game, even if you don't own the game. That is what is treated as DLC.

Things that change in the actual game and can be purchase with in-game currency are handled with game updates. Sometimes new stuff is added, sometimes new stuff is added to in-game online store, but that's all handled with game updates and may be mentioned in the update section, although these are too minor to mention and most of the stuff they just handle online without need to update much of the actual game on your console.

So, no, we don't treat anything you can buy from the game as an actual DLC. That is simply a game content, nothing more.

It's no different than when you kill some monsters in some RPG game, gain experience, and then use that experience as in-game currency to buy new weapons or armor.

DLCs are what is available to buy for the base game from the outside store (digital distribution one, obviously), not from the game itself.

Who knows, maybe in the future these things will change, but it would be impossible to keep track of these things unless you play the game every day and check what is new.

But, if you know about these special things, you can always mention it in the game description or in description of some DLC that is related to this. For example, they may offer some tank as a DLC for World of Tanks, but they may also offer it via in-game currency or also to win it by completing some event. If you are aware of these things, you can mention it in the game or DLC description.
