Seriously SE???

standard price for an expansion , dunno whats the issue here

I was pretty sure something like Star Craft II Heart of the Swarm was like 39.99 at release. So I thought something like this is reasonable.

[Zaft]

I get that. But my question is, why have we allowed it? Why are we okay with companies charging us more and more for less and less?

It's not really "us." Most companies that use micro-transactions don't make much off the general populace, they make money off "whales," or people who buy everything with no regard for cost. It's not as bad here, but in games like Clash of Clans, some people spends thousands per night.

If you wait 6 months it will be 19.99. but you will be 6 months behind everyone else. the choice is yours.

Game was 39.99 when I bought it at launch for ps3.

Honestly, I'm more surprised about the fact that people are surprised about the price. I played FFXI for 7 years and this is what expansions cost. Well except for the later ones, and the mini-expansion packs.

Besides, I already starting saving for this expansion pack in December and did a safe over-estimate of 70$. Should be done saving before it is released.

Anyway..you do realize it's like getting a new game, right? Like, the story of your current game will end, and you are sort of finished, like you are in other games. Then you buy the sequel. It's like buying... idk.. Mass Effect 2.

It's really a value based question. I personally have no issue doling out $40 for the expansion. I would most likely pay more to be honest (not that I'm advocating that). $40 is more than worth it to me. I will have more fun and get much more enjoyment out of the expansion that just about any other $40 I could spend.

If you do not feel it is worth a $40 investment then by all means, let SE know with your wallet. However, I believe if you do the math, it is worth far more.

being a MMO player for 15 years, $40 is exactly what I expected an xpac would be. It's amazing they are including content like Gold Saucer for free where most others would have saved that for xpac sales.

I say for those who don't like the price just wait a few weeks, I am sure there will be some sort of deals floating around for price drops.

Of course you may lose some ground in the game but I am sure you'll cope.

It's like buying... idk.. Mass Effect 2.

Except I pay once and then I can play whenever I want. For a game with a sub, 40 is way too much.
