That's all this is about. People who own Intro + Sapienza + Marrakesh have to pay for it.
From the responses that doesn't seem to be the case for everyone.
You mean the content that was sort of announced, but vaguely, and then had mention removed of, while they also changed the pricing format? Yeah, it's the consumer's fault that their messaging and handling of this content. If it did or didn't exist. And their official Twitter wouldn't give a proper answer when pushed, when this content was clearly planned for. They still won't reply to questions about it. But yes, fuck the people who didn't understand bizarre, constantly changing plans and unresponsive communication. It's all their fault.
The way they kept changing the structure for launch was a mess, for sure. It was only clear what they were doing very shortly before release. You were told though, that you could buy in part or fully upfront. The upfront was listed as 6 episodes. Another episode has appeared - if it can really be called that - and they are charging for it unless you paid upfront for season pass. The only people inconvenienced by this are people that assumed that was the only content that would release - is that a fair assumption? -and people that seemingly think it fairer to make everyone pay, rather than rewarding people who paid outright to begin with for unmade and unannounced content.
I'd agree with your point if the full experience buyers didn't get it for free. If it was a mission done after the whole season was out and everyone had to pay for it it would be one thing. But individual episode buyers having to pay at the very least 15$ or more than full experience buyers to get everything? Seems really unfair. It's not even a bonus for buying in early, anyone can buy the full experience now and be in a better position than individual episode buyers.
But it might not be everything? There may be another 4 random half assed episodes like this and they charge for them. The fault was in the assumption surely? I don't understand being aggrieved because people that paid upfront for content that doesn't exist got a bonus. That seems harsh no? Would it not be more harsh to charge them as well? They thought they paid for everything, but people that bought it in parts did not.
Okay?
Sorry for wanting the same stuff that people with a season pass have paid for. People who buy each episode as a standalone ( because why the hell buy the season pass now as it doesnt take into account the episodes you've already bought ) pay even more.
You are sorry for wanting what you didn't pay for upfront and others did. That is fine. It is weird, but it is fine. I can only say what I said above, assuming no other content would come and be charged for doesn't seem like a given, though I'll concede again the way they handled pre-launch was a mess.
As I said, it should be free, but not because people that paid in advance don't have to pay now, and not because it alters what you guessed would be the total cost for all the content they release. I have never seen such an argument placed on any game, only that content that wasn't in a season pass, should have been, which is what they did here.
