I mean, I dont think it's controversial to say it is surprising that a game had an expansion in 2000 but and then only had any other after the HD re-release in 2013. 13 years is an eternity in gaming. That's my only point; I dont think it has anything to do with keeping "up to date".

Yeah sure, but what's not surprising is another expansion coming out in March 2024, given the history of the game between October 2013 and October 2023. This expansion is certainly surprising if you didn't have all that history.

Sure. I'll be more clear next time. I think my original point still stands.
