FOMO or oh no! Is World of Warcraft expansion cost out of touch?

I'm pretty excited to find out more about the Diablo 4 DLC, but with the release coming late 2024 there's still a while to go.

World of Warcraft, on the other hand, has already had details shared.

The $90 Epic Edition has been met with a disapproving outcry from fans, saying that paying that much for 3 days of early access is out of touch.

In Blizzard's defense though, the bundle does come with a lot of other stuff, such as;

  • Access to The War Within (expansion)

  • level 70 boost

  • 1000 trader's tender (cosmetic currency)

  • guaranteed beta access

  • 30 days of gametime (normally costs $15)

  • a storm hatchling battle pet

  • a Storm Gryphon toy

  • a hearthstone effect

  • 3 days early access to The War Within

...but then again, $90 isn't a small amount of money!

Do you think the price is justified? What if it was your favourite game - would you buy a $90 early access, and if so, what else would it need to make it worth it?
