Well, I believe that definition of expansion in video games is that you need the base game to play it.

You can play WotN without owning any of previous titles in the series so I guess that makes it a new game.

Also, they are not completely ignoring us. They have already released two bug fix patches and I'm sure there will be more.

And they are also a low-budget team so it's possible they don't have resources for two-way communicating with players.
