Don't know what the better thing is, for patrons to spread good word (not content) as well as bad or wait for the public release, but judging by logic it seems more of a good thing if the patrons like the new content and spread the word. Might encourage some peeps to get the content actually via patronage. Now I cant really say that the new content was bad, it was rather good whatever was there, but there was just not that much which I assume is the norm for this game and dev. So currently I don't feel like it was a ripoff, but cant say it was worth it at 5 bucks either.
