I hate tin foil hat stuff like this. Maybe they did "cut" this stuff from the main game, we will never know because we wasn't there for the development of the game. But even if they did the base game is worth $60. If they had included everything from the dlc in the main game it would be worth way more than $60,it's at least worth $80 to $90. But no one would be willing to pay up front for a base game that cost above $60,except the people that got the bundle.
