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.

What? Why would you have to buy the whole game again? The Frozen Wilds will be available on it's own. I bought the collectors edition of Horizon and I have the DLC pre ordered. You certainly don't need to buy the complete edition to get the DLC.
