    Licensing man. Just because SE own the game doesn't mean they can just walk into any platform providers office and say "My game is now on your platform, deal with it and support it no matter what I do or say". They have to go through the ordeal of working out all the licensing agreements for literally every platform; Sony (PS3, PS4), Microsoft to some degree (Windows), Apple to some degree (Mac), Valve (Steam), and whatever other platform they release it on. As such, every platform/company is going to want their own cut of the profits. The same goes for the release of expansion packs.

    I've paid for the CE original game, 1 1/2 years of subscription time, and the CE of the expo for my PS4, and I would pay it again it I had to switch to another platform. Nothing is free, and trust me, it's not anti-consumer.

    Would you expect to buy The Witcher III for PS4 and then expect Projekt RED to give you a free copy of the game for the XBone and PC just because you wanted it for those platforms too. Or if they released paid expansions, would you really expect them to say "oh you bought it on the PS4, have it on the Xbone and PC for free as well". No, I highly doubt it.
