It's currently on sale on XO for half price, meaning you can buy it and get the upgrade for even cheaper? Bargain. Also, I know the gaming world is obsessed with numbers of players right now but active players are still more impressive to me. Some games might have millions sold but also millions of physical second hand copies on shelves (looking at you Anthem).
