Expansion packs are great. And of course the developers don't want to screw us over, they're too busy getting screwed over themselves by publishers. Stunts like this are about creating direct revenue for the developers, so they can actually get some money for the game they worked so hard on. Unfortunately, they have to sell us crap, charge monthly fees, or sell the game over the internet for them to get the chunk of change they want. I guess, if anything, we should all start boycotting publishers and only by direct from developers, like Steam, then we won't get screwed by stupid little micropayment bull crap that sucks my dirty bunghole but also sticks it to the publisher. Dammit.
