I bought Divison gold edition at launch for £65 that basically gave me everything the game has to date including all dlc, for destiny and first coupla dlc it cost £80 then £30 each for next couple an tbh the first coupla dlc for both destiny games really debatable as both found in game, i still enjoyed the game but there no denying there price sucked. Couple of my friends started D1 at end of it life, at that point i was on xbox doing stuff but i went back when they told me they got it, they paid £25 for everything an for me to play there content i had to pay £ 30 for 1 dlc to catch up, i'll play D2 in a year when everything released an i can get the collection for £25, i learned my lesson lol Thats the way to do it as long as you dont mind have some minor spoilers here and there.

Knowing what this is and the model EA is following, which is Destiny and The Division "Games As A Service", "10-year-plan" etc. I'm just gonna throw out a little prediction that'll hold unless BioWare truly is doing something unique here: Game itself: 60 dollars, standard edition, 75 dollars, digital deluxe, + 20 for season pass Expansion Pass: 25 dollars. Individual "Expansions" 15 bucks. Anthem Year 2 Add-on: 40 dollars Anthem Year 3 Add-on: 40 dollars. Anthem Gold Edition: 120 dollars. In-app purchases. Anthem 2, 2022: 60 dollars Etc. etc. It's likely there'll be no expansion pass because EA or at least BioWare never does DLC that way. Just expect Anthem to be a big moneymaker from your wallet. This does not guarantee financial success if they never get beyond the 1st line of your prediction. (looking at you, ME:A !) In fact, it speaks to the risk in your model; if a game fails in the first year, you can't count on additional revenue in following years. That's why the initial game price of $60 is set so high, so they can make a profit even if the game fails. If they really had confidence in their "games as a 10 year service" model, they would lower the initial price to generate more initial users, since the initial users will continue to play and build the game into the future. If the game is successful in the first year, add-on DLC will have to pay for it's own development, or be cancelled. (Just as they did with ME:A) Unfortunately, your prediction may be correct, since it appears to be how they wanted to set up ME:Andromeda. Obviously Anthem will need to be a better game to be successful at drawing initial players. Except that 60$ is not an high price and for doing what you suggest in the bolded part the price should be far higher. Since i saw that video on extra credits i made some research and everything i've read confirm that as today the game base price should be far higher than the standard 60$ or € we pay today. www.ign.com/articles/2013/10/15/the-real-cost-of-gaming-inflation-time-and-purchasing-powerPosted this ^ just because it has some chart with the inflation value over the years
