The DLC for that game can no longer be downloaded. Even from your purchase history. So if your HDD packed in and you decide to get all nostalgic down the line, you'll still be able to play the original Unpatched version of a game, but DLC is a no go and if the original version is pretty much unplayable without the patch, what can you do then?

This is why I am against DLCs and other digital content which aren't available on disks. Including patches. Atleast with GOTY or complete editions, I will always be able to play the games without the worry of patches and such.
This is the reason I searched high and low for the version of Borderlands 1 GOTY that came with the DLC on disk

For whatever reason I got Borderlands for Xbox and some GOTY just came with DLC codes
