But what if the game is well worth its $60 and the extras are just there to further enhance it? Sure, the game could be better, but if it is already worth its $60, how am I losing in the first place?
Meaningless. What does it mean to be worth 60 dollars? If you make 10 million a year, don't you think you'd value 60 dollars relatively little? Conversely if you make 20K a year, 60 dollars can be a major expenditure after bills.
Whether a game is worth the price or not is an entirely individual assessment, and so this shouldn't be a factor when you try to think of game design.
