It is pretty shitty to fail to release something and then go radio silence about it with no real explanation, though. On top of the regional pricing issue too.
Deluxe editions for games usually come bundled with DLC for a cheaper price than buying them and the game individually. Take older Call of Duty games for example, where buying the game and each DLC would cost a total of $120, but the deluxe edition with the same content would only cost you $100. So if you knew you were going to end up buying all four DLC, getting the deluxe edition was much cheaper.
In this particular game, I don’t know exactly what will end up in the deluxe edition but there’s already $72 worth of DLC so I imagine a lot of it is going to be included.

The dlc is important to some, to each their own.

Question wasn’t rhetorical. I really don’t understand the purpose of deluxe editions nor their importance.
I always just assumed people spend the money because they like spending it.

Follow-up question: how much does DLC actually tend to change the core game?
Are these just aesthetics or does it change things hugely?
