On Standalone Fallen Enchantress

The Elemental War of Magic Website has further details on Fallen Enchantress, the recently announced follow-on to Elemental War of Magic. In this update Brad Wardell stresses that while Fallen Enchantress will be free to owners of Elemental who purchased the game last year, they actually consider this a new game (thanks Big Download). Here's a bit on why they are going this route, which also mentions that the eventual third installment in the Elemental series will also be free for those who bought Elemental before October 2010:
There is also another advantage to Fallen Enchantress being its own game rather than an “expansion pack”. And that is, it frees the team to make radical changes to the basics of the game while allowing War of Magic to still be updated on its own source tree. A user of Fallen Enchantress won’t have to have War of Magic to play it and can treat War of Magic as a separate game.

This will be the same case for the third entry in the Elemental world which won’t be out for a long time still (but will be free for people who got War of Magic before the end of October 2010). It’ll be its own game as well not requiring War of Magic and Fallen Enchantress but be available at a sharp discount to those who have the previous entries in the game world.

Assuming they bring this game to the level it was supposed to be, the original buyers are getting a great deal here. Two free expansion packs is a bold move, I wonder how much of a profit they can make off this considering its niche status and given that a large portion of those interested already purchased the original.
