to add to mcb’s analogy, how about monoply release their game with only ones, fives and tens, but the company + userbase know that 50’s and 100’s are needed. people shouldn’t have to pay extra for an addition which should have been included at the beginning, or something which the company have said that they’d be implementing for a while

So what would you do with Monopoly, then, return it to the store and tell the person at the counter to give you a bunch of upgraded bills for free? Because hey, you bought this last year, and now you heard they’re making better bills and you should have had those from the beginning. I like free stuff too, but there has to be compensation somewhere for the time and resources that go into making improvements to the game. Bug fixes are of course free, but optional upgrades are things a lot of companies make you pay for.
