I really don't like some people sometimes
Feels great to have some haters
We could go so much into this but it would all be off topic. @wavebend maybe you want to start another thread for this a.l.a. the downgrade thread?
Nah. I think I'm done here

If you really want my perspective, here's what I would've done instead:
1. Reveal the plans for the upcoming expansions pre-release. Don't bundle them with the main game.
2. Release the main game without the expansions on May 19th. Show your customers that you're still polishing the game, and not already working on expansions.
3. 1 week later, make the expansions available for pre-ordering on the store without bundling.
