Yes, why was he purchasing an Electronic Arts product in the first place?
The shaft was inevitable at some point, best to get it out the way at the start

mmm, Expensive in there, I used to read PCgamer tbh. I paid 30 for wing commander 4 on release. I suppose if I look hard enough I could find even higher prices than them. Average was still £30 regardless. I admit there were exceptions, You could say the same about cars, Some are a Million pound. Dont mean mainly all are does it. If you see what I mean.
You are confusing RRP with actual price paid by consumer.
Unless you always paid RRP for your games? If so, LOL.
We are comparing RRP from 1995 to RRP from 2015.
The RRP of Ultimate Edition(Base game + all DLC) is £99.89 from EA. I'm sure it can also be had cheaper from sales and keysites.
- typing police at it's most pedantic.
What is this "typing police"? Is it a device created by the Grammar Nazis to identify when a poster hits the wrong key?
Regarding the OP, he's learnt the hard way that when the price is too good to be true, it probably is.

In that case, I would generally say games are much cheaper these days due to the influx of key sites. We are talking about RRP of games these days so it would make sense to compare to RRP from the nineties. Going with inflation and higher costs to make games, I think they should be a lot more expensive than they are. I'm glad they aren't though
It shouldn't allow activation of DLC without the base game being present.

But that's what everyone moans at with games and season pass when both can be had much cheaper. If you are using RRP for present games, moaning at cost, then you must look at RRP from the past to make a direct comparison.

Yes, but with advancement of hardware/software/game engines thus improving work flow and time, they should be cheaper.
Works both ways i guess
Not necessarily cheaper, but it'll offset all these mega costs people think are increasing.

Don't know about PCs as I didn't own one when the PS2 came out but the only place I could buy games were from rip-off high street stores like Dixons and Currys so prices were inevitably higher than the mass competition and e-commerce boom that took place and we have now.

Daft mistake, but not the end of the world. Just buy Hardline.
