tanek: With the current sale, I took another look at the relative prices for the Witcher 3 DLC (or Expansion Pass) and the GOTY for people who currently only have the base game.
Witcher 3: $19.99
HoS DLC: $7.49
B&W DLC: $14.99
TOTAL: $42.47 Expansion Pass: $24.99
TOTAL w/ Expansion Pass: $44.98 GOTY Edition: $29.99 For anyone who has just the base game, there seem to be no good options, especially during sales. this has nothing to do with how much I paid for the game when it launched. It does not matter if that price was more than all the possible totals above. It only matters that the discrepancy in pricing now seems wrong.
If there were a way to upgrade to the GOTY for ~$15 during the sale (40% off the Expansion Pass), I'd jump on it. As it stands, though, I have a hard time looking at the numbers and seeing where it makes sense.
Totally agree with the above.
Heard of GoG sales, and logged in immediately to see if I can eventually get a sweet deal on the expansions. Nope. The pricing as it is right now is totally absurd. I mean I have the original game, and the best price I can get now for the expansions is 7.5+15 = 22.5$, so that means that when selling GOTY CDPR costs the base game 7.5$??
Even the fact that both expansions get a price cut, but not the expansion pass is absurd. Seriously, why is it still in the store??? it is not a viable option for anyone, not for newcomers, not for owners of the base game, not for anyone.
