Dark Age of Camelot Releases Old Expansion as Patch

Posted by Zonk on from the kindness-and-generosity-of-the-nobility dept.

Popular MMOG Dark Age of Camelot has had several expansions since its launch, and recently the Shrouded Isles expansion was released to the playerbase as a patch to the game. This essentially ensures that anyone who purchases even the base game is upgraded to the better graphics engine of the Shrouded Isles expansion. The patch is downloadable from FileFront and ValueCommerce. Another notch in the trend of Massive games trying to emphasize free content additions as a selling point.

    Free content additions?

    What about all the poor suckers who bought the expansion with their own hard cash originally? What recompense are they going to get? Is this what MMORPG's are going to do now, release expansions, get a few suckers to give them money, then just release it for free anyway later on?
