It's a shame people can't see the point I'm trying to make due to exact dates not being applied.
Games release, then release DLC and then release COMPLETE Edition well within 12 months of the base game's release. This wasn't entirely aimed at Horizon, which I even said. Nioh has done the same thing, for example.
To me this just comes across as content removed to be added as DLC, so publishers can effectively charge you twice (maybe in three times) for one IP (Base+DLC (+Complete/GOTY)). However, judging by people's 'LOL' replies, I'm guessing I'm the only one that feels this way so whatever.
