If I were to gander a guess, I would say that the OP is upset that FE:LH costs $20 and is basically and updated version of FE, which cost $40.
Or looking at it the other way, making FE cost $40 to customers when SD knew ahead of time that there 'update', FE:LH, was going to be stand alone.
If this is the case, I can sympathize, but for different reasons. I really didn't like that FE:LH became stand alone because it allowed SD to change the gaming requirements, thus allowing for steam intergration.
Costwise though, I'm going to continue to buy into this game till I've reached $100. It's THAT worth it (despite evil steam). So far I'm at $70. So that's going to be 6 DLC's or 1 expansion and 2 DLC's (if past numbers hold consistent).
