Oh come on. This is a bad practice in general, and a lot of companies do this. This is getting pretty excessive too, its only been little over a year after milking this particular title with Season Passes, DLC not on Season Passes, a Remaster, and now a GotY edition. This is too much, irregardless of the game's value in such a short time frame. Might as well never buy a game "new" from Naughty Dog if you're going to expect to get this sort of nonsense in such short order.

If you want to do "Platinum" or "(Insert Company Here) Selects" after years of being on the market, at a discounted price... sure. It brings old games back to attention of people. But this is just greed.

So you're okay with them offering the base game cheaper, but not with them offering the whole package cheaper than the individual parts? Seems somewhat contradictory.

The GOTY is intended purely for those who haven't played the game before. This isn't like TLOU:R, where there is some value to owners of the PS3 version. There is absolutely NO incentive to buy this if you own the original. It's intended purely for those that haven't played the game previously, and i see nothing wrong with that. Just like how i see nothing wrong with Nintendo's overpricing of old titles. It's their game, thus their choice to do what they want with it. Just like it's my choice to buy or not buy something.

I truly want to understand their viewpoint. I seriously do. But still I don't see the reason why would anyone be opposed to the idea of selling a game cheaper than it used to with more content?

If someone is against this, they should be against the idea of selling games after a year too. I mean who is going to buy a 1 year old game. That is milking!.
