A KSP Ultimate edition

[Jestersage]

One of my favorite game is Payday 2, which they eventually baked the DLC into the game.

Perhaps TakeTwo should do the same. That way, no one can complain about DLC not being stock.

But then Take2 and @SQUAD don't make money off of the DLC, which is the point of releasing it

The whole point is ultimate editions make money, which is why there are so many of them.  You release multiple DLC and then package them into an ultimate edition later.  This brings in customers who had been hesitant on the game, bringing more sales.  Though, I'm not sure it would work with KSP, as people have been able to purchase this game for so long.  Even the long tail might be dwindling at this point.

We don't even know if there will be more DLC after this.  It probably depends on the sales of MH.

If anything, the fact that not many people buy DLC would encourage ultimate edition.

Payday2 is a P2P network game, but as long as the host have the DLC, all player can play the map. So not everyone will get DLC if they just want the new missions. By goign Ultimate edition, and charge as it was before, they can actually increase the price in a sense, since you MUST buy DLC. In effect, Stock+ become Stock.

This will also make the "stock only" challenge interesting, as it will include DLC if ultimate edition is pushed out with the standard edition removed.
