It bugs the s*** out of me when DLC is announced before a game is even out too such as with Spider-Man.

To be fair, there's often a pretty significant amount of time between when a game is considered feature-complete and when it actually launches, during which starting work on DLC is perfectly reasonable. Like everything to do with post-purchase monetization practices, there are many, many examples of this being taken too far, but the fact that DLC is in an announcement-ready state before launch isn't inherently a bad thing.

Personally, I also don't mind even if they've got that DLC ready right at launch, provided the base game feels like a complete experience. If the Tiny Tina DLC had launched alongside Borderlands 2, I might suspect they delayed the game's launch to facilitate that, but I'd still consider it an excellent example of DLC. Without it, the game still feels like a full game, and that's what's important in my books. The DLC is just something extra on top of that, which I was happy to pay for because it was great.
