That's sort of the point of Kickstarters - pay money early, get discounts later.
Paid DLC is not that weird a concept in the gaming world at large.

Zubmariner is 10.99 on GoG as well. In the bundle they cost 17.38.

As Suinicide points out, the price for both on GOG is £12.88. If you're seeing otherwise, please email a screengrab to zubmariner@failbettergames.com and I will take it up with the store.

Count in other factors like people being discouraged by the sharp price and preffering to pirate or whatever, and there's no real way to tell if anyone's right in the matter.
That's... that's a crime. That's stealing art from a hardworking indie studio. That's fairly unambiguous in terms of who's in the right and who's in the wrong! Now, no more of this nonsense talk - back on topic, and that topic is, can I move to Scrimshander because I think those people would -get- me.

Are you actually indignant at having to pay for an expansion? Or that there's a better deal for Sunless Sea today than when you bought it? How would you have gotten the expansion free by buying Sunless Sea today?

I would say that at least some of the people who backed the Kickstarter paid more than £20 to Failbetter, several gave significantly more to get some other rewards and input into the game. Zubmariner was one of two stretch goals and without those backers Sunless Sea and now Zubmariner would not exist.
Also Failbetter do need to make money to continue making their games.

Sorry RL means I am not a very active player at the moment. No social actions unless you are prepared to wait and definitely no sparring or other mult-action things.
No Calling Cards or boxed cats please. Will take dupes on the affluent photographers. Other social invitations welcome. Parabolan Kittens usually available, send me an in-game social action saying you want one and I will get one to you as soon as possible.

I think the key difference there is that if you bought Sunless Sea a year ago, you'd have had got a year's worth of playtime out of Sunless Sea already.

It's not exactly unusual for games to go on sale a while after release or when some DLC has just come out. It's a marketing strategy. If someone hasn't bought the game already, they may do so at a lower price, but lowering the price sooner after release would lose money on sales that would happen anyway.

It's a perennial problem - people resent if someone else, for whatever reason, pays less than them for something. Even leaving aside the commercial reasons for such price changes - the market's willingness to pay more for something brand new; the usefulness of incentive for early adoption; the use of sales to revive interest in an established product; and so on - if a product were to stay at the same price for the entire duration of its availability, then it might be "fair" in the sense that no-one has paid more than anyone else, but it would be profoundly unfair in that those thrifty euro-counters might never, ever be able to afford it - not even if they were courageous enough to get in during early access, or patient enough to wait for a sale.

"£7.99" That's two kebabs. If you don't eat those two kebabs, you can discover what lies beneath the waves (nothing of consequence, of course). Pretty good deal, mm ?

That would definitely be early access - the game was officially released in February 2015.

I paid £11.39 for Sunless Sea. Now I see if I had pre-ordered it, part of kickstarter or just buying the game today for the first, I would get the expansion free,
But because I am one of the many who paid the cash so you were able to keep paying the rent over the last year or so, I get no break at all and am expected to pay ANOTHER £7.99 for the expansion on top of what I already paid! That's a total of £19.38!
Absolutely ridiculous! Are you trying to lose loyal customers

People buying Sunless right now aren't getting Zub as well. There is a bundle for the both. It also happens to be more expensive than Zubmariner, slightly. The only thing being discounted, standalone or in bundle, is the base game, and FBG reserves the right to put that on sale, which they have done so. Newbies are not paying less for the expack than people who had the game.

You can argue with me, and you might even defeat my points. But somewhere along the way I may use philosophy to make you question existence. Who's the real winner?

Prob in the next 3 or 4 hours. Not being on the same timezone as them leads to the occasional delay like this.
