      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.
