To reply to the many responses about community angry if they gave it away for free or complete packs being released long after the game is finished - The Sims 4 constantly has sales often a month or two after a new expansion is released and we see that expansion price slashed in half. Almost all the packs are massively reduced in price too - so my question is if all the packs are on sale for $5 and a person was to spend $200 to get them all (5x40) - doesnt that make you all upset that what you bought at full price is now reduced in price?
Isn't that the entire point of sales though? People wait for sales to avoid paying full prices since retail stores existed and yet the idea of free just makes people...angry?
This feels like a bit of a strange idea that people get upset if something they paid for is eventually given away for free, but if you charge $1 for it they no longer are? I think this actually might speak into the large ideals of capitalism and social/human behavior what I was going for here lol.
Anyway guess I got my answer from the community, don't combine previous packs. Don't give them away for free, everybody should pay for it even if it only cost them $5.
There is a difference between a game for free and a game discounted. I buy lots of games and sometimes I know that if I wait a few months I'll get a discount but buy it anyway. So no I'm not angry when that game gets discounted. What I do hate is when I get a free game with Playstation Plus that I already own. Like FF VII, which I think became a free game way too early.
