Are you saying expansion packs are not profitable? Because Bethesda Game Studios made well over $200 million dollars (USD) when they released Dawnguard and Dragonborn for sale for $20 dollars (USD) each. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim when it released for sale made over $610 million dollars (USD) so that's a total of $800+ million dollars (USD) with Dawnguard and Dragon born getting sold.

Expansion Packs are very much profitable.

Alright, perhaps people wouldn't like to pay this or that amount of money for exclusive content, if if it's the price of a mcdonalds value meal. Would you rather pay about 10 dollars for a DLC collection? Houses, Questlines, Characters, Armors, the whole lot. Some stuff the developers thought of and tested for the game. Completely optional, but it would potentially improve your game experience. Sure, they could add it in an update or patch, but it would be better-made if they were selling it. Here's what I mean: I didn't like how the Dark Brotherhood questline ended in Skyrim. Don't get me wrong, I liked the ending, but I would have done things differently. I would have forgiven Astrid and healed her, despite her wishes. I would pay money for a continuation to the Dark Brotherhood Questline where I could save Astrid. Since there are two different ends of the Dark Brotherhood: Decimation by eitnerh the Empire or you personaly, it could still be canon, sort of. And yes, it would be criminal to withold this from the people who only bought the main game, but this is about good content after the main game: expansion packs. Armor, Houses, Questlines and Characters are for smaller DLCs while big landmass additons and new massive factions and questlines as well as all those things listed before would be for the larger 20$ DLCs.

Again you guys don't seem to understand that Expansion Packs are better made quality than most DLC's and that those DLC's should be included in the patches for free.

Do you think The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion's horse armor is better made quality than the Shivering Isles expansion pack? I don't think the horse armor is a quality DLC and should of been included for free in a patch since the horses need armor anyways.

What about The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim's Dawnguard and Dragonborn do you think Hearthifre is a better quality made DLC than Dawnguard or Dragonborn expansion pack? Because Dawnguard and Dragonborn is way better quality with lots of content compared to Hearthfire.

It doesn't matter if it's better quality or not, they made it ,they dedicated their time to it , they can sell it for whatever price they want . You can't just say that it should be free , because why should it be free? Did they say on the cover of skyrim that you can build a house ? No they didn't. If you don't think that some dlc is worth buying then there is a simple solution to that. Don"t buy it .

What would you said if your boss refused to pay you for months of work because it was a "lower quality" work?
