And you've ultimately achieved? Absolutely nothing - We can't influence the casuals or even dent their profit.
And how much do other AAA companies charge for "DLCs" and "Add-ons" BS? The purpose of the company is to make the most money they can, 40$ is fair enough to me.
Then what's the purpose for fricks post saying "it's too much for an expansion, full stop? If it was "full stop" and that was it he's gone against your idea of discussing a broad range of opinions and he's failed to expand enough upon his argument.
What we've ultimately achieved? Check that link on Endless Legends DLC pricing. The criticism on AAA production content and quality has resulted in a wide variety of 4X titles that compete with Civ and beat it in different ways. The market has massively diversified for strategy gaming and where Civilization was dumbed down, new franchises took over the complexity of the 4X and expanded upon it, without overcomplicating it. The result of thát, is that Civ VI has now implemented and virtually copied the idea of Districts that was presented in Endless Legends - complete with types and adjacency bonus systems.
I could go on with some other examples of how AAA is now following indie developers instead of the other way around, and how those are linked to community feedback, but you get the idea. Small dev studios are pushing out fantastic quality and much more content at a lower price, consistently. And guess what, those 4X games offer the same replayability and then some.

It means he has made his decision on that price point, 'full stop'. You're throwing tantrums over it and shutting down the discussion instead of opening it up... and you're not that sensitive are you. This is just someone saying something not nice about something you like. Grow up... take a step back and try to see the reasoning behind it, or move on. I've done my best to put forward one reason you could have criticism on price.
