On occasion, when a game is good enough to gain critical Game of the Year Award mass, preferably at the E3 game expo, it will come out with a series of DLCs, which, typically about a month after the release of the last one, will be bundled with the main game at a reduced price, typically to the chagrin of major fans of the games who had already bought the DLCs. It is often abbreviated as GOTY.

This trend probably started with Morrowind,[please verify] which came out with the Tribunal and Blood Moon expansions, which were later coupled with the game.

Examples of Game of the Year Edition include:

Action Adventure

Fighting

First-Person Shooter

Role Playing Games

  • Fallout 3 GOTY was released with all five of its expansions, Operation: Anchorage, The Pitt, Broken Steel, Point Lookout, and Mothership Zeta, retailing for $80 at release, the original price of Fallout 3 at release.
  • The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind GOTY came out with its two expansions, Bloodmoon and Tribunal.
    • The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion GOTY came out with only two of its numerous expansions, The Shivering Isles ($30 on Xbox live marketplace,) and Knights of the Nine ($10 on Xbox live,) for $30, making a massive price differential.
  • Marvel Ultimate Alliance had a Gold Edition all the DLC characters from both the Hero Pack [1] and the Villain Pack.[2] This is now the only way to get these DLC packs since Activision lost its Marvel license.
  • Fable II
  1. ↑ Hawkeye, Cyclops, Nightcrawler, and The Hulk
  2. ↑ Magneto, Sabertooth, Doctor Doom and Venom
