A generic ContentLoader base class loads all assets matching a given addressables label rather than hard-coding references, making it trivial to add new cosmetics, maps, or DLC without touching game logic. Content IDs double as progression/unlock keys, and runtime flags allow toggling content availability without code changes. The core principle: separate content from code — let code define behavior, let data define what exists. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
