Very true. Players who bought the game when it launched paid $50 for it. This was when ARK was on PC and being sold for about $20 (It was in Early Access I believe). Many players paid for it as DLC was to be added. Now we're told we will be getting just the base game. Also, while most players might be ok with repurchasing the DLC, for some of us in low income countries, it's a sizeable sum of money.
