MODERATORS
I mean, exactly how it use to function. Release a new game. If there is really enough content to warrant a paid product, just put that into the next title. Instead what we are getting is developers excluding content from the base game to release it a year later for a quick buck.
What is the difference, other than the pricing, between content being excluded from the base game and sold a year later as an expansion and content being excluded from the base game to be sold as a different game a year later? Why is one okay and not the other? Why is the one that is cheaper for consumers the bad one?
