This is a classic THQ move, they did the same when they acquired the Titan Quest IP. A remaster edition with all content and two expansions shortly after. I like it, it's a good way to revitalize aging games. I played the heck (heck & slash genre?) out of TQ and went back when THQ re-released it with new content, I think it's a pretty clever move. At least it works on old dogs like me.
KoA is a fantastic game, played like a sharp and action-oriented MMO without the "MO" bit and too much grinding. Combat is really fun and very varied depending on which path you choose. I might get the remaster when the expansion comes out.

The biggest difference here is that THQ gave the new Titan Quest (and doth Darksiders for those that had the DLCs) for free, while this one comes only with a temporary 50% discount.
Things are changing...

That's true, but the expansion packs were priced normally though and you had to own the base game before getting the free upgrade. But, yeah, it's quite different. It's still a decent strategy to get people either back into or introducing them to aging IP's such as this.
