I totally agree with Wallaby's disappointment. It just feels like a completely missed opportunity to really delve into other stories in this crazy world Naughty Dog developed. Ish was a fan favorite, and how fascinating that story would have been. I feel telling the story of Riley and Ellie was a safe measure.
They even mention in the PR release how Ellie's story was a fan favorite, and thus they wanted to revisit it! The backstory and what happened was best left to the imagination, an issue we discussed with Bioshock and returning to Rapture's "Glory Days."
The people at Naughty Dog are smart, so there must have been other reasons for pursuing this storyline. They do have that comic that was published "American Dreams," so we know they love this bond. But I would have loved to have heard from the Fireflies or even Tess.
I know I usually rush to judgment, so I'm going to choose to be optimistic regarding the DLC.
