D2, I bought it, I installed it, and I got everything in the game.
HG:L, I buy it, I install it, and I get a crippled copy unless I want to pony up a monthly subscription fee and _keep paying it. When I compare this gouging model to the D2 and Guild Wars model, all sorts of warning bells go off. This screams gouge gouge gouge, and I expect further fees to pop up. Say, something like, after you buy the expansion, you have to pay the existing monthly fee + a expansion monthly fee.
