[2018] want something for nothing?

trying to bully the Devs into submission because they wont give you free stuff.
get a life or more preferably a job because the DLC is cost of 2 good cups of coffee.
id buy the devs 2 cups of coffee for a remake of last stand let alone remastered levels with new dialogue to mesh it into current lore and adding in chaos to the levels.

if you believe that game dev is so easy that they can deliver content for nothing ill look forward to the timeless masterpiece that you will be releasing next year.....

This decision doesn't really split the playerbase. There aren't different matchmaking pools for owners of the DLC, and people who don't have it. The way it works is that, when you Quickplay, if you own a DLC, those missions gets added to the list of missions you can join. You can still join the base missions, and other players can still join your base missions as well. Since the vast majority of players use quickplay, it doesn't really split the playerbase.

so does this mean if a DLC player hotjoins into the lobby, it opens the DLC maps for the other 3 who don't have them?

Correct.

How does this affect games in progress? Thanks for all the clarification!

Non DLC players would not be able to join them via the lobby browser or via quickplay, but you could invite someone via the Steam UI or the ingame friend list (which is essentially hooked in to the Steam UI) to join your DLC map in progress.
