    The big con. Blizzard frightens current players that the next expansion will be super expensive. Blizzard release a £60 expansion price. All players breathe a sigh of relief and hand over cash.

        Expansions are usually cheaper than the base game. They usually offer less content and just extend on already known game play. This has been the case for every blizzard expansion I have seen released.

        Do you think people will buy it at $100? Considering many avoided the $70 price tag for the base game in the first place.

          “But it comes with Platinum currency so it’s worth $100!”

          Some suit will unironically say their funny money makes it allllll worth it.

        Because then they can sell the Premium Collectors’ Deluxe Edition for $100. Exactly the same stuff, but it also comes with a WoW mount and some Hearthstone card backs that an intern crapped out in an hour. And people will eat it up, as is tradition.
