I don't really understand this statement; most games see a descrease in price after time and when the game had expansions they are usually bundled and sold in a complete package. Total War has been this way for some time;
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Battle-Colle.../dp/B0000NSZMW

That battle pack was released in November 2003 -- about a year after Medieval's release (August 2002,) just as the new "Battle Pack" seems to be.

The same happened with Rome and Rome Gold -- just over a year to release all expansions in a single pack for much less than the sum of all three at release.
http://www.amazon.com/Rome-Total-War.../dp/B000E2D3LC

Rome was released in September 2004, Rome Gold coming out in February of 2006; just over a year later.

http://www.amazon.com/Medieval-Gold-.../dp/B000YQ639M
Medieval II: Total War was released in November 2006 and the Gold Edition was released in February of 2008. Again, just over a year and, again, for a lower cost than the sum of the release prices.

Beacause E.T.W. is still a broken game! If it is empire plus some dlc we deserve a refund for paying 60 plus bucks for unfinished game.

Well, considering the date you announced and NTW out in a few weeks, it would not be out of the question to see a discounted ETW combo pack. Publishers often discount older versions of games when a newer one is released.

Sure it's speculation, but it's within reason.

$30.00 for everything they could milk out of Empire?

If that's true I must say it's a suicidal insult move.

Link please?
Can't be DLC, the DLC pack on Steam is 16.19, not 30 dollars. It's bigger.

Isn't that exactly what Total War: Eras is;
http://pc.ign.com/objects/838/838532.html

Shogun: Total War with the Mongol Invasion Expansion Pack, Medieval: Total War with the Viking Invasion Expansion Pack and Rome: Total War (with both the Barbarian Invasion and Alexander packs).

Ive got to say if it was xp,vista&windows7 compatible shogun&mongol invasion,origanal medeval & viking invasion i would buy it.

It's probably a Total War Anthology. Last year Sony in Australia and NZ published a Total War Anthology (which I bought) so I guess it's being released other places now as well. Here is the link to the Australian version http://www.ebgames.com.au/pc-148508-...r-Anthology-PC.

Saying that, the Aussie version costs $100AU which is not $30US bot more in fact so either you get it cheaper or it's something else.
