My only concern here is the potential backlash they'll get if they do a large exclusion down the road and charge for it.
I have no problems with charging for content on the scale of what Skyrim and Borderlands did, and if CDPR puts out a large expansion they [i]should[/i] get paid for it. I just hope enough people understand the difference - horse armor is not the same thing as the Badass Crater of Badassitude.
Just as developers and publishers watched to see if Bungie/Activision could pull off the bullshit they pulled, they'll also watch how CDPR does with their approach. Sadly, the former were successful already, so the latter needs to hit it out of the park.

They've announced two paid dlcs for 10 and 20 dollars. You can get both for 25 with a season pass. They will be about 30 additional hours combined.
-
Yow, forgot about this post! Nope, CDPR is handling this whole thing the way it should be handled - if you've got a minor thing you've developed, let it go for free. Develop significant additional content? I'll pay if your game is any good.
-
They also said they weren't giving away massive content which is what these two dlcs are. Look it up. One drops in November and another sometime next year. Why else have a season pass for $25 when there is no paid dlcs?
-
I must be confused - is there an objection to my position? I seem to be saying what you're saying.
-
No, I was the one who was confused. My bad.

It's all good brother.

I don't think there would be any backlash. CDPR is one of the most beloved developers in the industry. They've established trust with their players. If CDPR wants to do a Witcher 3 expansion then I know it'll be worth more than whatever they charge.
-
I'd agree with your view. If Witcher III had a large expansion worked on after release, absolutely the developers deserve to be paid for it. Then as you say, we have the bullshit practices Bungie fell into with finishing half their content before launch which, unfortunately, worked well. Here's rooting for the foreign guys!

Honestly, having stuff in progress didn't bother me nearly as much as what they did to players who didn't buy the dlc - they had rolling lockouts on the base game. That, in effect, is stealing money back. Planning expansions, especially large ones, is someday acceptable, otherwise we get into the "problem" Dragon Age is facing - they have a successful, fun game with no dlc planned for 2015.
