30$ for an expansion pass??

[ツǦØÖÑɋɄɇɆɴツ]

30$ is kind of insane does anyone feel the same?? I paid 20$ for the game I got it on sale and 30$ is more than I paid for the actual game.. that feels way too expensive for an expansion pass.. Like I could understand 10$, 30$ feels like just a really gross cash grab..

You get a ton of content so no, $30 seems fine to me. Most DLCs cost around $60 with much less content. Besides, you can always wait until it goes on sale which might be soon considering Xmas is just around the corner.

What games are you playing that a DLC, not the base game, cost $60. Cause that's not the same games the majority of people play.

This should be $15 at the MOST. Especially since they have a cash shop they try to shove down your throat every 5 minutes.

They triple the price for my region, it's the same as just converted currency and yeah, it's expensive now.

I have not opened the game since the update. Since I don't know what is in the update I can't really comment on its price.

Most games now are on a subscription model, i.e. updates of a substantial nature cost.

The days of buy a physical copy and be done seem to be long long gone. I preferred that also.

"Free" to play games often wind up costing way more than those old all in one physical disc games. That is just how it is I guess. It's very rare to find any that are one and done.

But on the other side of that: Without funding they can't keep making new content.

I think you'll have a rude awakening once you realize that they've increased prices from $60 to $80 for base games, with modern expansions being between $40 and $60. Diablo 4's expansion will be $100, for example. I don't like it either, especially since the common reason behind it seems to be "the prices have been the same for decades and devs need to get paid!", eventhough devs haven't gotten a pay raise either. But this is a new normal and prices are going to keep rising.

I think $30 is fine, since it offers a huge amount of content + you literally get an additional $20 in value for the cash shop. So technically you'd be getting the expansion at $10 + $20 in cash shop value, since you seem to care about the cash shop for some weird reason. If you compare it to the base game, you absolutely do get content that is proportional to the price tag of the expansion.

I have to second that. What games are you playing with $60 DLC? Train Simulator or something where you are buying entire trains for dumb prices?

I will be waiting for a potential sale in the new year. Honestly, DDV is not that good of a game and as an early adopter, not sure I want to wait 12 month or more to see "the value" of the $30 purchase. Seems to speculative.

I will wait... for all I know they may abandon the game before we ever see the final update for the DLC,

dude its a DAY ONE dlc straight off CUT OFF CONTENT to sell the "f2p" game for 60-70$ fullrprice

[Navli]

this is totally fine 30 for a dlc, 40,50,60 there ok maybe a problem, but 30 no is rly ok. i remember in 2001 or 2002... paid 30 for every game i want a great expansion. For this case its not a little expansion like a "faction" for a 4x game etc,... Totally fine.

gta v, fallout 76, destiny and cyberpunk also.
other games that charge you alot.
majority of players dont play a farm sim game or a cozy game, the market for those are small, most play fps or survival games like rush and those....
maybe read up on the market and learn it from outside a farm sim game, then youll know this game is nice and good compared to others.
25gbp is dam good value for the expansion and people who say its not dont know the market they are in

They're desperate for your cash after their failures in the hollywood industry.

If Disney set the price then maybe, however its gl and well they dont need to be desperate as they make money from mobile gacha and console gacha and Fomo.

I must buy new gpu. So 1030€ for an expansion pack. Pretty expensive. It's a little weird because base game works fine.
