Seriously SE???

You may be right in this particular situation as 40$ is about the proper price tag for such a large Add-on, But Ill explain my picture statement...

Considering the well established "Hey consumer, f**k you!" mindset of gaming in Triple A companies today, there's always a good reason to question something.

But questioning how things are and how they might be better, established or no, is pretty much the backbone of how we progress as a society.

I never took it that far, and there's no reason to analyze it any more than face value. I specifically said in the MMO genre, not the whole gaming industry, and I definitely didn't allude to the idea that nothing should ever be questioned, ever. If you want to go as far into analyzing it as you did, I can match you.

You most certainly should question some things. You should not question things that are mostly decided just to be the 'way things are'. You don't question why the sky is blue and not red. It's decided by how things work- there's an answer to it, but it won't change just because you question it. The same works here.

Services or products offered require compensation, of which the offering party chooses (can be free, or trade). They probably had some business professional look at market trends and say, "Hey look, all these games make profit with $40 expansions, that's the market price." That's the end of it, really. You aren't going to get anywhere by trying to speak out against something so regulated as market price for video games (or expansions, as they're basically like an entire base product alone), when it's decided by people who are actually educated enough about it to make the decision.
