If the add-on were priced at $1.00, or even .50 cents, the complaints would be exactly the same. Value is not the issue.
If a real world dollar value were to be placed on many of the mods we get for free, it would probably greatly exceed the pocket change cost of 1.5. Just because we get such incredible value for free does not mean it is a good business model.

That's because many people don't understand that we don't make a living from creating these programs/mods, they do. It's their job. The company has to charge for a product so these workers can get paid. What if McDonalds or Burger King decided to give away free food? They wouldn't make any money and many of these fricking kids wouldn't get paid. Heck, with all the complaining about the U-Boat Expansion, I should complain that the happy meal is too expensive and that the bloodsucking workers should take a pay cut so I don't have to pay so much for something I feel should be free.
