After complaints about 'free' Ark: Survival Evolved upgrade being sold in a $50 bundle with Ark 2, it'll now be in a separate bundle for $60

Studio Wildcard, creators of poop-harvesting dinosaur trainer Ark: Survival Evolved, has responded to players who were upset the Ark: Survival Ascended upgrade turned out not to be free as promised. After raising the ire of those players by announcing it was going to release the Unreal Engine 5 remaster in a $50 bundle with Ark 2, the studio says it has "digested the feedback" and has presented a revised plan.

In a community update, Studio Wildcard said it will instead release Ark: Survival Ascended as a standalone package that will contain several DLC upgrades at launch, and receive more without additional cost (including community-created maps) when they become ready. Also, it'll be priced at $60. Now I'm no mathematician, but that sure does seem to be $10 more.
