You think a game that came out in February should have released with DLC that isn't even out yet in October? 8 months later?

That means very little. You said "as it should have released". Not "now I will buy it".

One is suggesting they delay the game 8 months. Another is saying is effectively saying "and now I can get it for cheaper" or "with free content".

Also you say you aren't made of time.. but you just waited 8 months to get this game. That is a lot of time..

Yeah, I'm in the same situation and that's what I plan to do lol, bought the game earlier this year on sale, can't complain really since it was half price, but still not played it yet, think I'll wait for this and give my unopened copy to someone as a Christmas present, lol :P

I actually really like it. The artwork reminds me a little of some of the old book covers I have, particularly for fantasy or sci-fi novels.

The detail in the meadow, the flowers and the cloudy mountains catches the eye.

Each to their own.

Okay, then lets circle back around to why on Earth would they do that? Why would they incure these huge unnecessary costs so that a handful of people who plan on selling a game a year after launch can get $15 instead of $10?

Also, It's not a money grab, and it's not even full price. This isn't for you, it's for people who haven't picked up the game yet. Do you also bitch and moan when games go in sale because it hurts the resale value of your already terrible investment?

I don't plan to sell the game later. What forces you to sell the game is that you have no option to buy just the expansions. No one will buy the vanilla game because they will want the expansions too, so essentially it becomes worthless as resell value because why buy an inferior product when a better one is out?

Now I am stuck with a vanilla game, what if I want to play the expansions? I need to purchase the full game with them. Why can't I jsut buy the expansiosn on their own as an option? 

With Destiny the other issue was even if you did upgrade to the full game and expansions,  some users compained they had to reinstall the full thing and that they lost some of their equipment because it was removed from that install.  That to me is poor developement. If you could just install the expansion your original effort would not be wiped clean.

I have no problem with game prices dropping in general, I have a problem with rebuying something that is not needed when I already have it just to get the expansion.
