This sounds like a really bad idea. With orange juice it takes less than 30 seconds to differentiate the versions. If this was done with something like Microsoft Word you would probably have to spend the better part of a day teasing out exactly which features you needed or wanted. I think a semi relevant modern example would be how the release of hitman 3 worked out. They had to make a flow chart of how to buy the right copy of the game with the features you wanted.

"They" makes it sound like IO Interactive (developers and publisher of Hitman) made that flow chart for people to use, but in reality it's community made by someone from Reddit.

And to be honest, it doesn't seem that complicated, seems like a joke flow chart to make it more complicated than what it is. These editions seems to exists (for the record, I have neither and first time I hear about them):

- Trilogy Premium Add-ons Bundle

- Trilogy Edition

- Standard Edition

- Deluxe Edition

- A DLC

Trilogy obviously is about the full series (1 to 3), and Deluxe edition contains "Deluxe Pack". Which one you want? Ok, want the DLC too? Ok.

It's really not that complicated.
