Then we agree to disagree. KI is bare bones by 1990s standards and it's 2013. The tiny roster just exacerbates the lack of content. 

I feel like you're ignoring the $20 price tag.

We are all aware there is little content and the price tag makes up for it. Down the road, it will acquire significantly more content.

The $20 price tag doesn't keep the game from being an unfinished rip off. It's an unfinished beta test with $20 price tag.

I honestly wonder about the balance given the short development time. 

rip-off

noun

informal

noun: ripoff

1.

a fraud or swindle, esp. something that is grossly overpriced.

MS is not commiting fraud or swindling you. They're being perfectly clear, 8 characters for $20. That's enough content to provide many hours of entertainment. Especially if you attempt to become skilled with each character, play competitively with others, etc.

Its not grossly over priced either. Hours of entertainment for a measly $20. Confirmed, its not a rip off.

Lastly, I think the way characters are being rolled out in seasons should lead you to believe time is being taken to make the game balanced. They aren't just rushing characters to have a large roster at launch.

I find charging someone money for an incomplete product to be a rip off. If the game had all 8 characters and modes at launch $20 would be reasonable. It doesn't. You get six characters with two characters and the single player content to released later. MS is rushing the game out to door so that it can be a launch title. It's an incomplete game. That sets a bad precedent. We can continue to go back and forth on this subject but it's obvious that we simply disagree.
