Based on the Pre-Purchase Community Address, I know that I can asked for a refund of the game, then buy the expasion. The problem is that I bought GW2 when it was $10…So, would that mean I’d only get $10 back? I would like to make sure because, while this game is loads of fun, I don’t have the money to buy the Expansion at full price. If I’m only getting $10 back, I’d rather keep the version of the game that I have now…

I would assume so as that’s typically how refunds work. You get what you paid for it back.

So yes, in both cases it’s ‘what you paid’ and ‘your core game purchase price’. That is, you get back what you paid.

IM keen to see how they actually do it. They are in for a steep climb to do it . reversing payments will end up to hundreds of thousands in bank costs. They know what the license keys were that sold at certain prices. I would turn cd keys into " vouchers " where on a pre purchase website you type in the cdkey and it activates the discount just like a voucher would have. The problem with this method is it will take some time to do and ontop of that people are buying the game in full expecting discounts to their CC .

And sometimes you have to spend money to make money. They probably figured the increased profits from people buying due to the sweetened deal would outweigh the costs of implementing the sweetened deal.

Example:

If before the deal was sweetened the game would net $100K in sales.

The cost of the sweetened deal is $30K. The sweetened deal increases sales to $200K. A $70K profit.
