In first world countries at least the basegame alone does not cost $110 or even close to that amount even when not on sale, but AoE IV was originally made from the United States. At least for first world countries that $40 amount (plus taxes) is not really expensive. Do not forget about the discount sales either that are sometimes available on Steam for AoE IV. There are plenty of Steam games as well that are a lot more expensive than AoE IV. Also, AoE IV does not officially have dlc yet, but it is coming soon. In U.S dollars I am betting this dlc is going to cost no more than $20 at most.

yeah and you insisted on buying it off steam rather than ''shady'' discount sites, right?

That's kinda on you my man. I paid I think 50$ and that was at release all included edition.

And to answer directly this thread, I think it's gonna be minimum 30$, there seem to be an overhaul of the zoom lvls aka the engine so I am expecting a hefty charge for that alone.

Regardless of how much the dlc is going to cost I still think that AoE II: DE is definitely the best. AoE IV does not even come close to being as good as AoE II: DE especially for multiplayer. At least some people for example complain about the spammed rams being too easy of a way to win on multiplayer even against players who are pros at booming quickly and this is especially true for "ranked multiplayer". Multiplayer on AoE IV is arguably imbalanced.

You got the first DLC for free. You want everything free? That is crazy.

[Rafsmen]

Sure! Guess what though, they would add cash shop to the game to pay for it.

A good expansion for a good game is worth a game full retail price.

[Avalen]

its probably gonna be paid. Imagine 20-30$

[James3157]

While a minimum price of $20 is imaginable because it is newer than other games from this series, there is still at least some things about this dlc we do not know with 100% certainty yet even with screenshots. Even with as many as three new campaigns possibly why should it cost $20 if Japanese is the only new civilization while the other screenshots might only just be reskins instead of new civilizations?

Just wait and see and relax.

How does the PC game industry and DLCs work? Are DLCs addons free in other games?
Are DLCs on discount during the sales?

The DLC expansion is optional content, You "do not have a duty" to buy it.

the amount of time spent developing games ive always been surprised games aren't more expensive. single player aaa titles go for 60-70$, are thrown at the audience as is, and req no updates and patches, and ppl complete them in 2 days. A game like this where ppl play 1000s -10,000 hrs , i'd be happy to throw a couple hundred into.

[Trevor Reznik]

Game cost 40$ but I got robbed on the way to the store and the robber took 70$.

Also got stabbed in the eye. Quite an expensive trip.
