Maybe that's also their line of thinking with allowing SC6 to be available for dirt cheap via Humble Bundle Monthly on PC (an offer which is available until the 6th of December). They're probably hoping those people will get interested in the DLC.There's another factor that argues for it: this is the day that launches the holiday gift buying season in earnest. Now most people do not buy DLC as gifts, as it is difficult to gift it on most platforms, so if you want to hit the holiday season at all, you want to catch people before they have exhausted their money reserves on presents. And then anybody who does get the base game as a gift can also be tempted by the easy availability of the DLC content once they receive the game.
