But there's no need to pressure people by asking "are you a real fan?". That's just silly. I'm tempted by the three dynasty weapons, but I have one question: "Why do I even need them?". I play perfectly fine without them. And paying 400 rubles for them seems a bit strange.
P.S.
I am a true fan of Heroes. And this isn't about my greed, but about the greed of the developers.
Two years ago, there were already many "disappointed" players who claimed that the beta testing, access to which was granted with a pre-order of the collector's edition, wasn't worth 1000 rubles, forgetting that they were primarily paying for the full version of the game upon its release, along with bonuses. The testing key was just a gift. The same applies here: you pay for the full version of the game, and in addition, you get 3 dynasty weapons and 1 hero. 400 rubles is a normal price for a standalone expansion. This is what DEViL15071994 was trying to say.

uPlay is a Western (American) store, and in such stores, everything is always twice as expensive. Even Steam. And even the one that has contracts with Russian manufacturers and values the Russian currency has higher prices. Take the same DLCs - I bought them for 150 in Gamanza, but the same DLC costs 250 on Steam. And uPlay is generally a purely Western store. And if you convert it to rubles, it's even more expensive. It's just that these prices are within the norm for the "West". But for us: when we see prices that are twice as low, and games usually don't exceed 500 rubles, then it's very expensive. And only wealthy guys, who don't know what to do with their money, or buy "products" from Western online stores "to show off."
UbiSoft is a French company, so uPlay, which is one of their products, also cannot be American. You are right about the prices: the standard of living in Europe is higher, so the prices are higher. You can pay extra to play not in a "Russian reservation," which various publishers are stubbornly creating, but with people from all over the world. And the more players there are, the better for online play.
