Upgrading Dragon Age: Inquisition from Standard to Game of the Year Edition

I have already voiced my questions about this with the EA support chat and was told that currently there is nothing in place that would allow this but I should voice my concerns here and hopefully so...

    This has been how EA has worked for a long, long time. This is why a lot of people wait a year or so to buy a game, so they can get the bundle/GOTY/whatever at a better price. This is also why EA is one of the biggest gaming companies left, they make money and use it to buy smaller ones who might not use such greedy tactics. Also, I doubt Bioware has much say in such things.

    Also, these forums are probably not the best place to get EAs attention, they're for players to help out other players with the game, even most of the moderators are volunteers not affiliated with EA. 

    There are no plans (nor are there likely to be) to offer an upgrade to GOTY edition. Looking back at their older games, you should see how this has never happened. It's unfortunate, but not surprising.

Still a year later, but would like to second the poster's opinion.  A DLC pack or upgrade option for those that purchased the base game upon release would be greatly appreciated.  Currently, I also feel slighted and am less inclined to maintain my former sense of support and enthusiasm towards EA or the DA franschise.

    Also chiming in to say this is amazingly lame.

    So you now sell the GOTY edition for less than what we paid at release for the standard game, and you give us no option to upgrade?

    What, do you not like money?

    Because there's no way in hell I'm buying the game again and no way in hell I'm buying all that DLC at a total cost greater than the cost of the GOTY.

    This is just amazingly stupid treatment of paying customers and a great way to avoid some extra easy money.

    For me, I never even finished the base game at release (so no reason to get DLC ever when it was released).   Now that I'm returning to the game later - and after you've discounted it severely, I find that you show zero respect to the people who believed in and bought the game up front with no questions asked.  Very, very lame.

      Recently started playing DAI again and was hoping that the DLC, especially Trespasser would be on sale so I could pick them up. Was very surprised to see nothing on sale and on top of that GOTY edition is $30 but the main 3 DLC's are still 15$, that's crazy to me. Its cheaper to buy the game again rather than to buy the individual DLC, I don't think I've ever seen a game price drop but not the price of the DLC. I'm pretty sure Dragon Age Origins and at least the first couple of Mass Effect games had the DLC price drop after a year. I'm really hoping that they'll have a thanksgiving sale next week where I can pick up the DLC.
