Video game publishers release complete editions a year after launch

Video game publishers are re-releasing games with added content, often over a year after their initial launch, in "complete" or "ultimate" editions. This practice leads some players to delay purchases, waiting for these more comprehensive and potentially cost-effective versions, which sometimes include exclusive new content. Sega acknowledges this trend, suggesting that players may be anticipating definitive editions, impacting initial sales of their acclaimed titles, particularly RPGs like Atlus's "Persona" and "Metaphor: ReFantazio."
