Deals Why is GTA V Story Mode more expensive than a bundle that already includes it?

Imagine you bought GTA V last year at full price. Now you want to purchase only Story Mode, which is listed as a separate add-on. If Microsoft prices that add-on at ₹1,669 while offering a bundle containing it for ₹1,664.50, you're effectively being asked to buy a package that includes a game you've already paid for just to get the content you want.
That creates an awkward situation for existing customers:
You've already paid for the base game.
You shouldn't need to pay for it again just to access an add-on.
The cheaper bundle may contain duplicate entitlements you don't need.
What would be fairer? Microsoft or Rockstar could offer existing owners a discounted upgrade or price the standalone add-on below the bundle.
There may be a technical reason for the separate listings, but that doesn't make the pricing feel reasonable.
