@codinghorror
@voidqk I empathize with "buy the old game complete bundle" which is how it should be for ancient games like this. But base game = full game.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@voidqk if anything you are falling into a marketing trap. Oh noes, I am not getting *everything*, therefore..

@voidqk Take Batman: Arkham Knight DLC as an example. Is the batgirl set of missions "depriving you from the full experience"? Nonsense

@voidqk That's a bizarre weird viewpoint; game expansions are NOT standalone films. Not even close. They're much smaller vignettes.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@voidqk Doubtful, if someone plays Catan and doesn't have Seafarers, did they not get "the Settlers of Catan experience"? base game is essential

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@voidqk why would it matter if Settlers of Catan was missing the Seafarers expansion? The base game works just fine ..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@voidqk ask Battlefield: Hardline how well that worked out for them.. lots of fail in that "use same engine, different art" approach
