From a business standpoint it is a brilliant scheme. Release a bare bones version of the game, let people complain, swoop in like a super hero with a tiny tidbit of free content to please the masses. Do this a couple times to keep the players on the hook just enough to get them to buy a bare bones expansion and repeat the process. Most of the "free" content will be all the things we had in D1 that are not in D2.
