That's true. When i only had the base game it took for ages to decided to buy horizons. You have to ask the community even. Not sure if the low price today makes it an instabuy with the base game like old truck simulator dlcs.
Elite Dangerous has sold 3m copies, Horizons 1.3m (43% of basegame owners)

You're the one chasing unicorns fella.
Multiplayer expansions tend to add OP equipment or buffs as part of the new content. It's one of the motivations to buy it. (Plus adding new game mechanics that don't provide new gameplay variety and advantages would be both very difficult, and ultimately pretty self defeating). A purely narrative game could add content chapters or whatever. A multiplayer game featuring PvP, and indeed PvE, tends to add new weaponary / vehicles etc which are both functionally diverse and better in key respects than many of the prior set. Got any examples of recent, comparable games that haven't followed that route? I kinda doubt it
You are being deeply unrealistic mate. But enjoy the unicorn hunt

any report on cosmetic sales?
Has anyone actually won yet?
I won a few weeks after getting it... or at least had an 'end-game' ship... (and sold it after 4 jumps...) The rest of the game now is to explore every system, that may take a few more weeks
I'm sure though that once I know what the objective of the game really is I'll win, even if I have to find the 'god-mode' cheat characters...
Sorry, Indigo - I know what you're saying and am being facetious
Last year also marked FDev moving into new and larger offices, which likely represents a large chunk of money, so I'm a deal less worried than you seem to want to be.
That's not what I said, don't put words in my mouth.
Has that term ever meant achieving a final win state in any MMO?
Or did it just mean stacked odds in favor of a paying party?

I've got examples within ED that simply didn't feature within Horizons exclusive content, multicrew, neutron star boosts, new albeit not superior to other ships (the three Alliance brothers), CQC, wings and surface driving.
I'm not getting involved in bickering about some of the figures, I will say one thing through, all three games have done well, Frontier seem to doing well, and I expect big things from this year as they are no longer distracted by moving into the new office. So should be full steam ahead on updates and new games.
I'm very interested in seeing which one of universal properties frontier is basing their game on this time. I think Braben confirm their fourth game would be base on another license property.

My bet this time is on James Bond.
How to train a dragon would be pretty cool through.

I'm guilty of this. I bought my ED copy on Steam Winter sale of 2017 because I hoard games and I have a problem and I must see a professional before this becomes wor... OH, ACE COMBAT 7 IS RELEASED AT THE END OF THIS MONTH!
It's both. Unless you're saying the actual price to buy the game right now is actually more than £4.79?

Cool, like I said. You can't come up with a comparable paid expansion that didn't add superior 'P2W' kit then
(PS you're forgetting that Multicrew added extra PIPs and is totally P2W
)
Are you sure about that one?
