Why do console users have to pay for Breaking Dead?

Do they honestly? Well don't feel bad, i'm a PC player and I originally paid for it, too, before it became part of the base game for free.

1) Most basic explanation - it took more development time to adapt Breaking Dead for each console; more development time = more man hours = higher costs, etc.

2) Unlike on Steam, the consoles don't implement hot-fixes ... we've been told its a 'whole ordeal' just to get one update green-lit. So, a PC release on Steam allows them to hot-fix *most* of the bugs that a new DLC brings, and then they can push out one 'complete' update to the consoles - probably what they're planning with Game of Crones.

Describing some GoG shenanigans? - afaik, Breaking Dead was never even *implemented* as a DLC on Steam ... just got pushed out as a regular update, automatically downloaded.
