I was really impressed by the previews of The Witcher 3 and pre-ordered it on Steam early, something I don't really regret, but ultimately didn't feel like a good decision.
CDPR set the standard for how DLCs should be produced and I'm not saying it's not worth its price.
Though, it kinda hurts that I, as an early buyer, gets penalized for pre-ordering due to weird pricing on Steam.
To the point, this is what the pricing looks like in my CIS region:
The Witcher 3 (Base game): 359 RUB ($5.7) - 70% off
The Witcher 3 GOTY (Game + Exp. Pass): 450 RUB ($7.15) - 70% off
The Witcher 3 Expansion Pass: 399 RUB ($6.35) - 60% off
For less than a dollar more than the expansion pass, I could buy the GOTY edition with all DLCs included.
I've always regarded CDPR as a great and compassionate company, but this pricing model is kinda shitty, why not at least have expansion pass at 70% off?
I've been holding off on pre-ordering Cyberpunk solely because of this, feels like I should just wait for the bundle after a year.
