Why do big game developers expect people to pay ludicrous amounts

Because they can squeeze as much money as possible from the game's fans that will buy anything to get a little more.

What I am wondering is when is the last time a single player game had must-buy DLC anyway?
These days I usually just ignore DLC entirely, and find the main game typically has more than enough content.

Because they know they can get away with it. Can't you just get the new Uncharted through the season pass?

If consumers are willing to pay the asking price, why not?

Over gloried DLC ranging anywhere between $40-$60

Jesus.

If they released this as an add-on nobody would have bought it.

They don't expect it, they know for a fact people will pay money for anything. Look at the state of gaming right now. DLC's, microtransactions, kickstarter scams, early access, ''free to play'' bait, mobile garbage, remakes and rehashes, and ''gamers'' just take it all in without question. It's amazing to me, I just cannot understand it. Things are the way they are because the people allow them to be, why they do it, why no one speaks up (except for the dumbest cunts, like SJWs and such) I just don't understand.

Let's be real, iterative sequels existed way before the advent of DLC.

The new Uncharted has the same estimated average playtime as the first Uncharted so technically it's a complete game for $40 but seriously I would rather get CB N-sane trilogy than the new Uncharted since it has more replay value

Stop being poor

Spla2n has the excuse of being on a new system with totally different architecture and internal specs than the original. Also, everyone including Nintendo wants to now pretend that the Wii U was just a bad memory.

I don't know about Destiny, but Splatoon has core gameplay changes and tons of additions while Uncharted has completely different story with as much game as usual while being also cheaper. I don't know what's wrong with them.

Uncharted: Lost Legacy is just Halo 3: ODST.

Stand-alone story with the prior title's multiplayer. Sounds great!
