    Would you feel differently if no updates were released for the original game, and all development post release was bundled into a paid expansion? What if, after that, the game was only made available with expansion?

    IMO, that’s all this is, with the nice bonus that people who bought in early get the expansion for free.

      I am a bit confused by what you mean. Are you saying something like Base game launches at 20 DLC brings it to current state with a 15 purchase

      Later down the line they merge and the game becomes 35?

      If that’s the case then yes, it’s pretty much the same concept and in fact I would actually see that as a bigger red flag.

        Other way around - base launches at $20, dlc comes out at $5, game and dlc get bundled down the line in a $25 pack, discontinuing the separate purchases.
