Shame that you will have to come up with some other way of judging peoples attitudes than the number of posts they wrote, the other scoring system the green blocks was just likes and is effectively still here.

#angryghost confirmed. You didn't invest anything before 2017. Entitled? Wonder why you are still here at all.
O7,

why? do you have problems understanding the term, or are you just the chuckling type like me?
Yes, and do not forget to consider the inflation rate of the economy for several years, and also the investments in computer equipment and the electricity bills and ...
I have an absolute gift, nay, a real talent at purchasing video games a few days or weeks before they go on sale. I paid full price for Ark Survival Explorers edition. The following week it went on sale for something like 40% off. I purchased Surviving Mars a few weeks ago on XBox. Not only has it now gone on sale but it’s now included in XBox Pass, which I have. I know there are some people that get upset when that happens and they kick off about it, but, as you say, you roll the dice and take your chances.
Yeah, it's a financial term that some people use too loosely. (Not just on video games.) If there's no possibility of return on it, then it's not an investment.
For example: if I had bought FDEV shares back then, that would have been an investment. (A decent one, to boot.) The lifetime expansion pass was a purchase.

What LEP changed timescale?
Read the OP maybe? There was an intention to supply something by the end of 2018 that didn't happen.

On the one hand your post mentioned a very general "making good on the LEP" but now you seem to be only specifically referring to some discrete "premium content" that was announced by Zac long after the LEP sales had been discontinued.
I can understand anyone being naturally disappointed with regards to having to wait for those elements of premium content, but I hope you realize no one paid a single dollar for that particular promise made by Zac in 2017. What you paid for was a LEP sold sometime in the period 2012-2015 that very explicitly didnt include a specific timeline at all for any of its elements (including Zac´s).
As mentioned I can understand you may feel dissappointed and it is up to FDEV to decide how to treat that, including refunding you if they so deem apporpriate, but in order to "make good on the LEP" as per the conditions and description when you purchased it they do not really need to. Especially if the new era recently announced is actually delivered.

Sure would be nice for FDev to clarify thing kind of thing, wouldn't it? We are 700 posts and six months into this thread, read the last line of the OP & then click on the dev post link for this thread.

This thread has diverged in a multitude of different subtopics, some more relevants to the OP than others imho. As per your particular one, to which I responded, I hope that at least you are now better informed to avoid the confusion you were stepping into.

Wow, people are arguing over a 6 month old thread? Is this the new Hotel California?
Why wasn't I informed!?
Why wasn't I informed!?
Next you’re going to tell us you do it in the background
Some are discussing the relevant topics, or that was at least my intent. Maybe I'm just a slacker...
Yeah, it's sad we still discuss the same topics after all those years. Maybe we wouldn't if the last years of development were less disappointing.
Actually the thread has died and been resurrected 3 times in 6 months, many arguments have more traction.
