The base game is $60 and you get a lot for that (including a buggy mess, but that's modern gaming). However the add-on prices are just ???

Lucky you, that's not the prices i have here where i am from.

Translation

A$99.95 = $72.90 USD

A$139.95 = $102.07 USD

A$179.95 = $131.24 USD

Well I actually paid CAD 159.99 for the game, A$ 173.84 at today's exchange rate, pretty close.
That's just shitty exchange rates plus taxes.

I don't get that complaint, those dlc add ons are not from the devs but from creators. In fact you can make some dlc for your city/close by airport and sell it for a few $ while the world updates from the devs so far all have been free.

My 'complaint' is that the prices are far out of whack. $60 base game with the entire world, $60 for one enhanced island plus airport or one extra plane. True they can charge whatever they want, just doesn't make it enticing to buy and even less to collect add-ons. Plus there is no quality control nor guarantees. Hence my apprehension to spend more on add-ons.
