So does the current copy of Tyranny on GOG have this new patch or is it something Coming Soon?

I dare to disagree, sir. It's not supporting the artists but their employers. It's supporting a business strategy that I personally don't like at all because if you want to have the whole game, you don't know how much money you'll have to whip out ultimately. I regularly buy AAA titles on day 1 - if the developer says in advance that what you're getting is the whole game or they say there will be n expansions. Then it's fair: I know what's coming my way. If I don't, I pass. And if there's a chance to buy the game later at a cheap price, why not - but I'm not playing the DLC game. The thing is, I would have bought it for the full price if there wasn't the calculative approach.

(Edit: typos)

I paid 73.99€ for the Overlord edition back then (especially to support Obsidian), which was already too expensive.

But Paradox can't get enough... The DLC's content should've been free from the beginning, or at least for higher tier owners.

The expansion will probably cost around 15-25€, and although it's stuff from Obsidian that I usually buy on day one, this time Paradox can shove it. No money from me until this cashgrab hits a reasonable price.

Edit: Some rewording and remove insult.

Paradox's scheming at work again, splicing the game into 100 different pieces, making you pay and pay through the roof for everything. I wish Obsidian didn't publish with them. Why weren't they able to do it themselves the way that Inexile they did?

It's all about who owns the IP in question.
In case of Tyranny the franchise belongs to Paradox who in return can do with it whatever the fuck they want, including charging money for a portrait pack(!).

As Wottie noted, there are reasons for not just dishing out money every time nickel and dime DLC is released. I'll support developers that I like (and have bought many full price games from OBS just as an example - as well as contributing heavily to their kickstarters). But I'm not willing to be treated as some kind of weird bovine money-teat when publishers decide to dole out games piece-meal in order to soak out more revenue.

So yeah, I'll wait until they offer the full package down the road.

In light of the lack of obvious victims? (If the publisher isn't offering the DLC for sale, the publisher isn't missing out on its sale value. People who preordered paid for a package including something you took for free, but it's always the case that better deals become available to those who wait, so would they lose out to a salient extent...?) If there's a workable objection it's probably deontological: a Kant-inspired analysis might be that if everyone did that then preorder-exclusive DLC would be impossible...

...and I leave it to you decide how disturbed you are by that thought. ;-)

5 MB?

This either means that this DLC only unlocks what was already in the game or the new content is very little.

Wait, story is not finished?

Funny that this is exactly where Paradox threw the portrait pack in... just not for GOG customers.

Sounds fantastic to me. Kant justifies pirating preorder DLC! Brilliant!

Hahaha.

Agreed. I've been supporting Obsidian practically since inception but this is distasteful. The portrait pack is despicable and deserves zero support from anyone.

Correct. Paradox seems to have lopped off the last two full chapters for later sale as DLC. Fuck that.
