Vault Pricing

[mototom]

Can someone explain vault pricing? I haven't seen an official announcement, other than a "you can buy it in the store" pop up in HLO and a couple lines in the last release notes.

• Vault access for these books is granted automatically on new purchases or can be added on for a discount to previously purchased character content.
• ...
• Vault access can be added for already-owned books through the store, while new purchases include Vault access.

If I understand the release notes, Vault content is included only in new rule content purchases. Those of us who previously purchased rulebooks have to pay to add Vault access for those purchases.

Is this correct? Are the only people paying for the Vault people who have been supporting HLO already? Or am I misunderstanding the pricing?

Because that really feels like a punch in the gut.
