When games come out as expansion packs, is the original version included on the expansion?

Answer 1

usually not.

However sometimes, companies will sell balk packages which include the expansion pack and the original game.

Answer 2

Originally, the expansion pack will not have the original game because people that buy the expansion pack already have the original game, so there's no reason for them to buy the original. Plus, if the original is included in the expansion when it first comes out, the games could cost well over 80 bucks, which most gamers will not buy because of the high price.

But a few months, perhaps a year after the expansion is released, the company might bundle the original and the expansion together and sell it at a cheaper price to entire more gamers to buy the game.

Answer 3

No, that's why they are called expansion packs.

Answer 4

depends on the game

most arent.

like SWG untill "Complte online adventures" you had to buy the original then the expansion.
