I paid about 50-60$ (cant remember exactly) for WoL.. now according to that picture in the OP i'll have to pay 40 EUROs for the expansion which is basically the same since 40 euro is 50 dollars. Why are they equating dollars to euro? 1 euro is worth more than 1 dollar. How is that not greedy? Edit: not the picture in the OP, but it can be seen on page11.. someone quoted it with a 40euro pricetag in the bottom. | ||

Also comparing it to a WoW expansion is dumb in the first place because WoW has a monthly payment system. When you look at what someone has paid to play WoW from release till now with buying every single expansion and not missing a single monthly payment i'd say you could buy a pretty decent car with that money. WoW is 7 years and 11 months old. Main game + 4 expansions = 5*30$ = 150$ Each expansion + main game gives 1 month of free game time. So you would have had to pay for 7,5 years. 7,5*120$=900$ 150$+900$=1050$ pretty decent car get out of here. And no i dont think that overhauling the entire UI to the point where i still cant create a room for a custom game is not worth anything. | ||

No amount of whining about past failures or how much people won't buy the game can possibly ever match the level of complaining that always comes with a new WoW expansion and that game has been at around 10 million subscribers for 8 years now. People on the internet whine about everything. Blizzard makes great games and continues to. You might try and threaten that you're going somewhere but you'll quickly realize that every other company out there is worse off and you'll come right back. Starcraft is the only RTS on the market. | ||

As far as I know there's been no officially released statement on how Blizzard All-Stars will be implemented other than it won't be released until HoTS has been. I dug up this old PC Gamer article that claims that it will be free with the Starter Edition. http://www.pcgamer.com/2011/10/22/blizzard-dota-detailed-mounts-added-towers-weakened-last-hits-revamped/ | ||

I hope it's true though. | ||

Some other online stores also do a 1 euro to 1 dollar conversion, like Steam iirc. Those that don't are the exception rather than the rule. | ||

Shit, you could buy a pretty good second hand volvo for that kinda money around here. Don't you think that 1050 dollars is a massive amount of money on a single game? And people here are bitching over spending 40 on top of 60? If you don't think it's worth it that's your call to make but comparing a WoW expansion to a sc2 expansion price wise is just dumb. | ||

That sucks and pretty much sums up why I don't play consoles anymore. | ||

I really hope Blizzard don't release the game if it isn't ready, like they did with Diablo III. And related to the price, there is two points of view: 1. $40 for just a campaign I'm not totally interested, and a bunch of new units is really expensive. 2. But considering how many hours I put in WoL (I had never invested so many time in a game) and all the fun I got in this 2 years, $40 is a really low price. | ||
