Hey everyone,

Out of curiosity, I was considering what the draw to expansions is for people, both in video games and board games. It seems like a lot of people have different expectations on what they want out of extra content, and I think this may be part of the reason why expansion content may be a somewhat controversial issue with many gamers.

Anyway, if you have a couple minutes to spare (average length is about 2 minutes), I'd be grateful if you could partake in this brief survey.

I'll be writing an article on my findings sometime in the next few weeks, so I'll be sure to post it here.

Thanks!

IMO a good expansion helps develop something already good and free standing into something even better.

I think IA does a pretty good job: the core is fun and has great replayability. You really don't need anything else to get a considerable amount of enjoyment from it. So with the expansions, the added missions, heroes... etc really boost that original game.

I think the problem with expansions is when you're sold an incomplete original game and need expansions to turn it into a complete one. Although I haven't played it, the new Battlefront seems like a good example of this.

Survey taken. Now please send me my free gift.

More of something good, that's what I'm looking for in expansions; more of something good and preferably done in new and interesting ways. With IA, it is all about new stories for me; everything else is a bonus
