I was once a "release day" gamer, but you are literally punished for being one these days, given that the "GOTY" or "Ultimate" editions that come 3-6 months later offer all DLC's, all extras, less bugs. The exception of course are MP titles...but ugh, MP titles are the worst offenders for "consolization".

Got it in the Humble Bundle. I was bored after a few hours. :/

True, but those who do pass it up will probably pay $10 during the July game and play the exact same game.
