That's not how the word extra works. If it has extra, it's usually has more than usual. Meaning it complete, and has more to boot... And the $60 isn't for just the extras. It's for the game, too... Which is for a different system. And that's not how it had ever work... Ever... Just because I got the game for one system doesn't mean I get it and the extras for all the systems. It just doesn't work like that. You want the game again, you gotta pay again. So, if you wanna pretend you life is ruined, have fun!

Then they shouldn't make extras for any re-release if I have to buy the same game again at full price to get them. That's wrong.

Sure it does. There are many reasons why it might not be practical to deliver those upgrades to older versions or offer a special purchase option for existing owners, not least of which is the fact that existing owners generally don't care that much and it's therefore rarely worthwhile to put in any work to get the content to them.

It is practical, game devs are just greedy.

You never *have* to. You either choose to because you feel it'll be worth the extra cost, or you choose not to because you don't. Those are the only two possibilities, neither of which amount to forcing you to buy the game any number of times.

Both choices ruin my life. I need a third option: I buy the game at $60, DLC at a reasonable price and never have to buy the game at $60 ever again. And I will fight until I get that third option.

Therapy can always help, provided you actually want to improve and stick with it for long enough. Seriously, look into it. Your self-destructive fixation on this issue is suggesting to me you've either got OCD or some manner of ASD (I'm not a medical professional and this is not a proper diagnostic setting, so do not under any circumstances treat this rough guess as being more credible than a diagnosis from an actual doctor), both of which can pretty easily be treated well enough to improve your quality of life. You don't have to resign yourself to being unhealthy and unhappy.

So far it didn't help. At least not with videogame problems.

That's never going to happen, particularly where they don't really care about your particular obsession.

They should care because most gamers are like that. Gamers want everything and it's an abusive practice to lock content behind ports to make people spend more money than they should.

Quite simply, the money is not in convincing WiiU owners to buy their games a second time. That's a nice bonus when they can get it, but the real money is in the fact that 5 times more people own a Switch than ever owned a WiiU, and that figure just keeps climbing. That's who they're selling this to; don't delude yourself into thinking they care that much about double dipping into your wallet.

If Nintendo just wanted to sell the game to a new audience then they wouldn't spend money on extras. They make the extras because they also expect people who already bought the game to buy it a second time as well.

No, "extra" implies that it's not necessary. Which it isn't. The game was perfectly enjoyable before this content existed, and that game hasn't changed. It's just as enjoyable now without the new content as it was then because the experience is identical (ignoring changes in personal perception due to evolving standards for gameplay conventions, controls, and other aspects that factor into determining how well a game has aged). That means the new content is something extra added to provide further enjoyment.

To me Bowser's Fury is necessary. I can't enjoy any game if I can't buy all the DLC I want for that game without buying it twice. All DLC that I care about is necessary, and I should never have to miss out on any DLC forever because the devs charge $60 for it.
