: We don't know how much DLC they sell or how much costs went into development.
: Speculating on absolutely no info is Internet-level stupid.
Using the word 'hypothesis' raises the discussion to the level of absurdity. Especially since you say it is unprovable in any case since sufficient data is withheld by those who stand to profit if people were in fact being 'shafted'
I simply responded to a poor reason for people not to feel the price was too high.
Say that the map pack cost $100 per copy. On SEspiders metric, this might still be a fair price since, pulling numbers out of our arse, they cost $100,000 to develop, test and release.
Wow! A 99.9% discount!
But wait, no, because they can sell another 10,000 copies for little additional cost to them and suddenly they've made 90% profit.
People are allowed to feel the price is too high. SEspider raising MS and 343i to the level of benevolent gods diegning to make extra content for us is insulting.
