Like many people I suppose, most people perhaps, I bought Dragon Age Origins pretty much when it was new, which means at its highest price (49.99 €). Which is normal. I also got two free pieces of DLC (Stone Prisoner and Blood Dragon Armor) for buying it on Steam. Again, fair deal.
A while back, Bioware released the Dragon Age Origins ultimate edition, which also costs 49.99 € but contains every other DLC and the expansion. I would have liked to play all this content (and still would), but buying the whole package when I already have the biggest portion of it seems like a waste. Then again, if I buy the content I'm missing separately (= 29 € worth of DLC + the 20 € expansion), the price is the same, 49 €.
That means whatever happens, I get my "114 $ worth of content" for... 98 € (= 135 $ !!).
Now, here is my question : how come the people who bought the game before everyone else, and therefore, probably allowed for the release of the Ultimate edition in the first place, still have to pay their DLC full price, while a cheaper edition is now available for those who skipped on the game ? Wouldn't it be logical for DLC prices to go down as well by now ? Seems to me it would be fair at least. Why priviledge the skeptical over the fans ?
If I get Dragon Age 2 new (and I probably will), I pay more than the people who will buy it in a year. It is normal since in a year, the game won't be "the new $#!t" anymore. However, the DLC will still be as expensive, while people who waited long enough to get the ultimate edition or whatever the new package will be called will also get the DLC for cheaper. Isn't that somewhat unfair ?
