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.
Ok, thinking about it this is actually fair and probably the only argument I’ve seen that clicks to me as I know of games that have done this and have been fine with it. I think the reasoning is why I dislike the move, less-so the price itself. Calling it inflation when you have so many other terms to describe it is strange and kinda off putting to me. But I guess I’ve been conditioned to this idea of a game going down not up in price from my time gaming. The ones that do go up include the dlc and such, which I suppose is no different in this case
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.
