You cannot use the argument of "well this isnt a patch,its adding features/etc" because already in the past they have added features and given it to us for free. Seems to me they got together and said:

"you know what,we can put out these MINOR upgrades and sell them instead of just giving them away for free. That equals more money for us in the end"

I admit that irritates me a bit. When I saw "Out of the Park Baseball 6.5 Expansion Pack Announced " I was thinking "oh cool,this is going to add a boatload of features and some new interface options/etc"...but then I see there are like 6 very small upgrades,one of which has been claimed a dozen other time in patches. "making the AI more realistic across the board"

Markus,please focus on OOTP7,please don't release patches and call them expansion packs and then charge for them.
This sounds EXACTLY like what I said. You view it as half-empty, I view it as half full. A game I spend a ton of time on is improved quite a bit and I'm glad this expansion pack exists, even if it does cost me a whopping $10. You say the features are minor but they look pretty nice to me.
