Why is dlc bundle more expensive than buying individual?

[Renya]

Not sure if anyone else noticed but is there some kinda mistake on dlc bundle? As buying those dlcs separately is more cheaper than in bundle

I noticed this as well, it's probably because of the sale.

I believe the bundle also includes the 3rd DLC that will come out later this month. Its basically a way to "upgrade" into the Ultimate Edition if you had previously purchased the Standard Edition.

For what its worth, the DLC bundle shows up in my game properties, even though I never purchased it directly. I'm guessing that it works as a placeholder / indicator of sorts, in order to auto-include the DLCs from the Ultimate Edition.

Each DLC is 9,75€ on its own. Thats 29,25€ in total when buying them separately (Once third is out)
The Bundle is 24,50€ which is 4,75€ cheaper.

The main "scam" is that there is no reduction for buying the bundle if you already own one of the DLC since you dont get any extra reduction for that.

Buying the Bundle for 25% off will make each DLC cost 6,12€, which equates to 45% discount per DLC's

Thank you all for the answers!

The DLC Bundle is 18.74usd.

The 2 DLC if bought separately are: The Forgotten Kingdom: 7.99usd
The Awakened King: 7.49usd
For a total of 15.48usd.
That's 3.26usd cheaper to buy them separately than to purchase the bundle. I keep seeing people say that you get the new DLC when it launches,also. But it does not say that. It says it "Includes 2 items", those being the 2 current DLC.
If they also included the new, upcoming DLC, that would mean that they would only be charging 3.26usd for it. That doesn't make sense.


The DLC Bundle says that it includes only 2 items. Those items are: The Forgotten Kingdom, and The Awakened King.
It does not say anything about also receiving any future DLC with it.

No. Because the Bundle and the DLCs, themselves, are all on sale.

Ok.. I scrolled down through the game updates,etc., and I found a paragraph where the devs do say that the upcoming Dark Horizons DLC will be included with the DLC Bundle.
