I guess Shadow if that did happen then it would be a trust thing which would show a lot and you would like to think that those who would and want to will pay rather than go the cheap way, and I mean cheap in more ways than one.
For starters the price is literally a steal already, why someone would want to download it for free at that price would really astound me. I guess also it could be a test, I mean think about it; Is TDU2 PC a viable option or should they just make for console where the money is guaranteed? I mean why people are complaining when the game costs nothing compared to the console versions and now the DLC is again cheaper confuses me. I would have thought the real worry with this would have been Xbox 360 players moaning about how they had to pay more than double and stuff.
In the end it's always been said that they have been working on this but not able to say, hint or confirm nothing because of many issues and I guess with this today it's been proven to be true after all.
I guess it's just a wait and see.
