Also maybe bisexual and heteroromantic or smth else that's hard to realize.

I didn't know how to phrase it for decades, even though I knew that's what I was.

Could be bisexual, heteroromantic, but doesn't know that's a thing.

Bro, you skipped a couple lines. The next part is, "I tuck you in, warm within, keep you free from sin, till the Sandman, he comes." Then you sleep with one eye open while gripping your pillow tight.

Don't forget, my son, to include everyone.

It certainly is, and it goes all the way back to at least the late 90s. I lived there from 00-03 and I saw so. many. games. do this. Granted, I was console only back then, and in Japan the number of new and used game stores is mind-blowing, so it's not like you couldn't trade in the old version and get at least SOME money back. Can't do that on PC.

They don't always do definitive editions, so should I just wait forever and never get it? Also, waiting and getting the definitive edition still tells them it sells. They don't see why, they just see it selling. And if everyone just waits for the definitive edition, not buying the OG, they just view that as people not being interested in the game at all, so they quit making anything.

Edit: And I specifically mentioned pre-ordering because your thought process is the same as when it comes to pre-orders: if you don't pre-order they'll stop releasing unfinished garbage. That does not work here.

This has nothing to do with pre-ordering. I don't pre-order and I usually can't afford to get things right when they come out, unless they release on sale. They keep doing this because: 1. Dumb fucks buying it when they already have the og edition because of FOMO on the few things that were added. 2. People that hadn't bought the game yet so they buy the newer "definitive" edition.

Most other games that end up with a GOTY edition usually include all the content that was originally dlc, and can be "upgraded" to, usually for less than all of it did originally. And you don't have to redo achievements.

The thing with DQ is that there is no dlc. They just add some collectible or a couple of quests to flesh out where a character disappeared to or something. It's not enough content to even qualify as possible dlc. And there's no "upgrade" pricing.

So the only way to "stop this" is to do what I've already been doing— not buying it twice. But that doesn't actually stop them.

I'm an idiot— even though I know my Roman Numerals, I wrote IX when I meant XI (Echos of an Elusive Age). I don't know what the "definitive" edition looks like, as I already own the OG and refuse to pay for another copy and have to get all the achievements all over again. The OG looks great to me, and I can't even use max graphic settings. I can only imagine how good it looks on max. If I'm understanding you correctly, the "definitive" edition looks worse? They can seriously go fuck a cactus. It's already not worth paying full price twice just to get some tidbits that aren't even tied to achievements. Japan puts out some amazing games. Classics. Industry changing innovations. But their decisions to do shit like that, as well as how they abandon their games after only a few bug fixes (that still don't fix many of the major bugs) has all but turned me off of games from the country that's known for video games.
