You only have to look at how much outrage there was at Capcom's SFxTK or RE5 DLC, or, more recently, Turtlerock's Evolve DLC, to see how differently CDPR is treated.
CDPR should be treated differently because they are not selling you a skin pack for $30. There's a huge difference between this expansion and a game like Evolve. Evolve and the Witcher should not ever be mentioned in the same sentence when talking about dlc. All of the witcher 3 small bits of dlc will be free. No paying for skins and haircuts, it's all free.
They are charging for an expansion pack, which if you think that expansion means dlc, let me put it another way. They are charging for 30+ hours of content. If you're not a fan don't buy it. It seems people here don't know CDPR's track record. The Witcher 2 was an amazing game, one of the best I have ever played. I have full confidence in them to deliver. A lot of people might be too young to understand what an expansion pack is. Back in the old days we used to get these things called expansion packs which added a significant amount of content to a game without being nickel and dimed. It was a glorious time to be a live. No one complained. If you liked the game you bought the expansion.
