To be fair OOTP 8 is the non-SI brand of OOTP 2007. With the split from SI Markus retained the rights to OOTP and again became independent. He cannot sell OOTP2007 but can still sell the game under a different name. The $5 price for previous owners came about at the request of 2007 owners as there were some very minor tweaks in AI and some type of accomplishments board added.
Both games otherwise are identical and play nicely together. It was hardly put out as a $5 patch that you must have. As a matter of fact I would guess most did not upgrade and many that did, did so to as a way to get ootp for $5 and then gift it to either a son\father as a way to let someone else try the game.
