Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director's Cut to be cheaper for those who own the original game

Have you been thinking about picking up the Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director’s Cut but are worried that it would be a waste of money since you already own a copy of the original Deus Ex: Human Revolution, as well as the DLC? Fear not, Square Enix has your back. The company has announced in a blog post that while the Director’s Cut as a whole will cost $19.99 (Rs 1,224 approx) on the PC through digital distribution, those who have already picked up the original game and the DLC will only have to pay $4.99 (Rs 305 approx) for a digital purchase to get access to the Director’s Cut content. Those who own the game, but none of the DLC, will find the Director’s Cut content for $9.99 (Rs 611 approx).

Did anyone ask for this? Yes. Yes we did.

The Director’s Cut is more-or-less a re-release of 2011’s Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Not only does it contain the main game itself, but also has all of the DLC packs, including the Missing Link, the Explosive Mission Pack and the Tactical Enhancement Pack. The boss fights themselves have also been completely redone, which aims to fix the major criticism the game faced. Along with all of this, there is also a New Game + feature which allows players to replay the whole game with all of your previously-earned upgrades intact. An added extra is the developer commentary option, as well as a Making-Of video.
