A fair way to make money, when base games are included, could involve the option to also buy this base game once more to share the code with someone else who might like to get it. Then you can maybe decide to just get the deluxe pack or dlc pack for some extra amount of money, or one of the higher editions available and again, for the extras and since you paid so much money already, you get %-off if you also decide the extras are worth it because you collect those. I wouldn't complain about this if the price for the base game is deducted if this is what's been decided on. Lots of options where you waste more money that this content is actually worth. You can buy an already expensive edition and buy the DLC extra, you buy the base game and DLC, the Deluxe to also get extra content, DLC seperate or the bundle. ![]() One doesn't have to do the maths to see how these editions are overpriced and should not be bought in the first place. ) plus any number of DLC but not the extras. Base game, Deluxe Bundle containing base game + extras and a DLC bundle containing the base game (even that's not the case with some publishers. ![]() A random example how this edition-business is just scummy business tactics to maximize revenue. Not only AAA-level games are offered in three (or even more) editions, milking the customer more than actually adding some tangible value when purchasing any edition containing some extra. Also there is never any guarantee the DLC will be released. DLC can be very short or introduce changes which ultimately ruin the experience playing the base game which would make it a waste of money. Whether it is worth it to place a pre-order on future promise of story DLC is difficult to answer. As far as I know there is an official release now (also here on GOG) containing all those extras. Shadowrun is a prominent example with a long list of unlock codes having been shared. Some extras will be semi-exclusive to backers or people placing preorders, there is always someone among their ranks sharing it. There should be some effort being put in to some extra content really not belonging into the base game to make this work for me. ![]() Other than the ridiculous price their editions are fair, while cutting content which could just as well be in the base game, in order to justify a more expensive edition, is less so.
