Hmm. 🤔 I have to question the legitimacy of this screenshot. I just connected my vpn to Sri Lanka, which bans the PlayStation Network, and I got an oops page. Switch back to the US, and refresh, and the page displayed again as normal. Also, the price is $59.99, not $10, and it states clearly you need the base game to use the DLC.

So, they're selling only DLCs?

It looks like just the soundtrack and artbook. No game.

Wtf? Lmao. That's a new fucking low to collect some pennies from people.

I mean...is it? I don't really get what to be upset about here. If it were really DLC sans game, then yeah, that'd be ridiculous, but if people want to buy these things, why not? And $10 for both seems like a decent price, tbh.

Okay, but they're still calling it GOD OF WAR RAGNAROK DELUXE EDITION.

What are you gonna do with a DLC without the game? I'd understand the soundtrack, but DLCs without a game?

I dunno. I just don't see it as a big problem, I guess. Just because it has some useless stuff attached doesn't mean it's a scam or something, as long as the artbook and music is accessible and are considered worth the price.

Also, looking at the pack, the "dlc" is 4 whole cosmetics. If it's considered a scam without those, then it should be considered a scam with them.

I don't think anyone said it was a scam.

A fool and their money is soon parted.

I don't think it's an example of fools buying it. It's attempting a scummy bait and switch.

Or is it just the storefront displaying the bundle but omitting one of the items (the game itself) since it's not available in the region?

I was like "GoW for only 10 bucks? What a deal!" but no lol that's awful
