I bought Elden Ring for $40 and it ended up being #13 out of my top 100 games of all time. I'll happily shovel out money for the DLC at full price. The value I got for the base game is enormous.

Almost definitely, Pricing is a main lever in marketing, which is always in the Pub's realm.

The price isn't surprising no matter how bad we think it is. Elden Ring was a huge success and both the publisher and the developer would be stupid if they did nothing to take advantage from this situation. It's a normal market practice.

Guys, guys 
. I should have been more clear. I was talking to Zloth because I'm pretty sure he likes to pick up AAA games as a cheap bundle later on. I was just trying to point out that maybe Elden Ring wouldnt be quite that cheap so soon as other devs games might. I bet the size of the tail on their games is massive compared to just about anything else and they dont have as much motivation to sell the base game for cheap as quickly as possible as there arent any microtransactions.
Personally buying it day one as long as its not totally broken at launch, hours per dollar isnt much of a factor for me.
Having said that, we know its the size of Limgrave, but we dont know if that includes the Weeping Peninsula, it can also be denser I'm not sure we can judge the amount of hours in it by just the size of the map.

How big is Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree's new map, and how will we reach it?
Piecing together all the details on the Land of Shadow, the Elden Ring DLC's new location.

I started a new playthrough this weekend (my second). All this talk regarding SotE got me eager to go back to the lands between.
My last build was pure strength / endurance. This one I’m going for dexterity / intelligence. It’s exciting to be walking into Limgrave feeling way more certain about my path forward.
