X-Com Complete price vs Enemy within DLC price

[GHODAN]

Why is the enemy withing dlc priced 8,24 euro while the complete pack is only 9,89 ?
Thats not realy fair for people who bought X-Com months ago.

Still no EW for me this summer lmao... :cfacepalm:

Same I want it but not that bad, the orginal is ok, and from what I have seen, just not enough new stuff to buy it at that price. If it was 75% off I would of grabbed it for sure, guess I'm waiting till xmas to get it.

Hmm, just reading through some user reviews on metacritic and lots of ppl are saying EW is more like Addon/DLC rather than a true game expansion - i.e with EW you have the same storyline as EUnknown, same beginning, ending, characters etc but just new toys mech, meld etc.

Def. doesnt sound like good value for money as it priced the same as the full game.

For some reason EW broke my game, but I loved EU and both EW and the complete pack are at the best price I've seen so far. Its super addictive and a pretty lengthy campaign, with a fair amount of replay value. Unfortunately 2K has been no help with my problem, and its not an uncommon one. Supposedly when working EW actually adds tons of content.

you get mechs + equipment, genetic modifications, new research objects, new maps and a new third enemy faction with different missions. maybe not worth the full price but on sale definitivily

XCOM Complete $16.49
XCOM Enemy Unknown $7.49
Enemy Within $9.89
Slingshot $2.30
Soldier Pack $1.64

So based on this absurd pricing, Enemy Within should be priced at 16.49 - 7.49 - 2.30 - 1.64 = $5.06.

What a joke. I only own EU and the Soldier Pack. So if I want the "Complete Experience", I need to spend $12.19? Which is only $4.30 cheaper than the complete package?

Crazy, crazy marketing. Instead I just won't buy anything at all. Will just wait until EW goes on sale for $5.06 or less, since clearly that is what it is worth. It'll hit that price one of these days.

The majority of hardcore Strategy gamers (core market) has already purchased the base game and will only be looking to add EW so ....that has the highest price.

EUnknown is priced lower to bring in new players who maybe havent tried the game yet (much smaller market) now in 2014

Pricing model makes perfect business sense - just not very considerate to the core group of returning fans that love the game and will buy the expansion regardless

Who cares? Just buy the one you want and stop whining.

He you can buy this BMW for 20.000 euro. Only one tire kost 18.000 euro if bought seperate..... LOGIC.

Yeah, "logic". According to the "logic" in this thread, nothing should ever go on sale because it "punishes" early adopters. The original XCOM should still be selling for $50. Or should the price be adjusted to account for inflation? After all, we don't want to "punish" anybody.

To use your car analogy, it's like buying a car for $20,000. Then a few years later it's on sale for $5000 and includes a kickin' sound system, or you can buy just the sound system upgrade for $3500. How is that unfair to anybody? Hint: It's not.

If you ever buy something and don't expect that it will sell for less in the future then you're an idiot.

Enemy Within is currently selling for $9.89.

I will disagree with folks saying its just $4 - $5 extra, so spend it. People can choose to spend their money how they wish. During the Steam Summer Sale that small amount can get you a quality full game title:

I've been checking out games currently $5 or less (some examples):
- Company of Heroes (Best WW2 RTS)
- Rome Total War Gold Edition (Simply Legend)
- Fall Out / New Vagas
- Trine Complete Edition
- Max Payne Complete Edition

etc. etc...its actually heartening to see people putting thought into making good decisions.

You know, it's funny how people feel screwed over by a sale yet know full well things go on sale. The only person screwing you over is you, don't be so quick to buy a game if your going to cry when it goes on sale.

Exactly. It's like buying a newly released DVD for $30 and then crying a year later when you see it in the $5 bargain bin. If you don't think $30 is a fair price then wait for a discount. Common sense, people.

Must be regional, it's $16.50 here. A DLC with a base price of $50, surely some kind of joke. Oh well maybe next sale.
