Why ? Because there is apparently still plans for a WITP 2. And that looks to be a much more significant upgrade. So the question is do I wait 6 months for an upgraded WITP Admirals edition or do I wait 2 years for a fully changed WITP 2 ? I cant afford full rate for both. So it becomes a choice of one or the other. I can play my current version of WITP and do without the Admirals edition and wait out the time for WITP 2. not to sound disrespectful...but you should know better. one of the things I'm really grateful about this expansion is that it is published as such. For all what it seems matrix could've published this as "WITP 2", and not without a good reason. And I assume, then you'd buy it, right?. But as it is "only" an expansion you'd rather wait for "WITP 2"...a game you don't know if it will be published or not ,and if it will, for sure it will take more than 2 years (counting from summer'08) in being released. In the end: as Matrix didn't do a cheating marketing operation out of this expansion, you won't buy it. Is that it?... As I said ,you should know better. See, mate...You should go and buy a "paradox entertainment" game, and one year later buy the second part of the same game priced as a game and not an expansion. A "second part" which is the barely, bugged as hell, and still to be really finished with some 5-8 patches coming in 1-3 years "completed" (ha-ha-ha-ha) version of the first game. With the same engine, the same inner workings, the same code, but only some new features and added content over exactly the SAME base (see Europa universalis-Europa universalis 2. Hearts of Iron-Hearts of Iron 2...etc) Then, after some 4 years of the original comes the REAL second part (called Europa Universalis 3, guess they'll do the same with HoI) which is total crap, you go and buy it too. Then, come back here and tell me AE is not worth it. I'm just mentioning ONE developer (Go and try Il-2 and tell me the reason why Forgotten Battles it's a stand alone game priced as such, instead of an expansion of Il-2 itself), because this kind of cheating on customers is common in today's computer entertainment industry. Here they're not cheating you. As I said before, they could rightly name this expansion WITP 2 (and then you'd buy it, right?) but they release it as an expansion... unlike other developers who name their expansions as second parts and price them as such. And you say you won't buy AE because its "only" an expansion?. I'll insist: you should know better. If only, and if you like the game which I assume you do, you should buy it just because guys who do a great job, hear the community, and are honest, as matrix's developers are, need to be supported. And, what the hell, because the expansion looks simply awesome!.
