Yeah, because the skin was totally modelled in the last minute because of the sales.
Previous DMC's had no dlcs because there were no such thing as dlcs. Besides, why not having classic dante skin? His hair in this looks better than the original DMC3 dante, and besides what about Tameem? Are you butthurt or something? Tammem is not the only member of Ninja Theory's team, and even so, he personally loved the first PS2 DMC. He wasn't talking about "old dante sucks", and more like "old dante is old fashion". Which he is. Long, white haired, flashy looking protagonists are not the trend anymore. Not "cool".
And really, no matter how much people want to be offended by it, "not in a million years" was a joke. Simple as that.
