Justification for price DLC price tag?

[Terra Blade]

So I am curious as to if anyone knows what is going on with the price tag of the DLC. It's the cost of a season pass or just a freaking new game, but doesn't seem to be adding that much based on the store page. Am I missing something or is this just standard corporate price inflation?

It's a full expansion, similar to Phantom Liberty for Cyberpunk, which is also $30. Todd has said it's comparable in terms of scale to Far Harbor which was $25 eight years ago.

Isn't it the same price as all the other Bethesda DLCs?

Well really, that's Bethesda's Job:

It seems about the scale you'd expect for a Bethesda expansion in the current year, I am certainly not going in expecting a new galaxy.

Only buy it if you are convinced you want it, obviously.

No, the only one they've released that was $30 at release was Shivering Isles.

This is why you always buy the premium versions to start with so you don't need to keep spending

how much did you save brother?

The justification is simple, some people will pay that much. If you are not one of them then wait for a sale like the rest of us.

The money i spent on this game was played and enjoyed, But if they keep releasing dlc I don't spend anymore than the original amount

Since when is a new Bethesda game $30?

[=CrimsoN=]

Folks really should have bought the Premium Edition.... it was only $30 more than the base game and includes not just Shattered Space, but also 1000 creation credits (which is $9.99 normally), the Starfield OST, artbook, skins and it had 7 days early access before Starfield released.

Even now, there is no real reason not to get the premium edition if you don't already have the base game. Your $30 goes much farther with premium than buying just Shattered Space.

The Far Harbor DLC for Fallout 4 cost $30 8 years ago. If anything Bethesda should be congratulated for holding the line on DLC pricing to what it was 8 years ago, right?

You're missing something.
