I wouldn't call it a stunt but rather a smart business move. It's true that the expansion is $10 and $5 for accounts linked to Steam. (If you're going to buy it, get the Steam version first since you'll get 2000 Town Points, the Steambot3000 avatar, and double Merit Points for life. It's a much better deal than to straight up spend $10.)

Here's a thread where I've gathered quotes from the CEO which explains the future direction of Salem and why it is this way.
