The price of being a y1 player is higher for just that reason: you are a y1 player. You get to have played this game for a year now. Of course it's going to be cheaper to dive in now, such is the case for literally every game ever. Games almost always release with a "special edition" a year or so after release, which will contain all of the content released for a price of around $60. Thats just the reality.
