If you'd kept up with the saga of R2 over the last year you'd know why EE version came out. All part of a long tale about trying to fix it mixed with the usual DLC parade that follows every CA release now. I didn't have the impression at the time CA was trying to be sneaky with this specific release though, it was more on the side of trying to fix a broken game and signify they'd done enough to warrant re-naming it. Of course we can all agree or disagree whether that was in fact the case.
