It's a logical fallacy to insist that just because something is on the disc means that it was meant for release. This conclusion relies upon the presupposition that anything created [i]pre-release[/i] was intended for [i]release[/i]. That's just not the way a major corporation would work. Think of it this way, if no xpack was ever going to be released, then they would never have hired the developers and testers and coders to work on that stuff, and then it wouldn't have made the disc. But because they do have a 10 year plan in place, they hired [u]extra[/u] staff to being working on the DLC before the game was released. [b]Every triple A game does this now.[/b] It's a fact of life. And it's smart business on their part. It's not as simple as saying they must have just cut stuff. That's an overly simplistic, and in the end, in my opinion, wrong way to think about it. P.S. Chatting with you is awkward as we share the same avatar. I feel like I am having a conversation with myself.
