In the middle of the bad press of the season pass, I never even knew you could get those characters separately.  which means, you're paying 80 dollars for 65 costumes.  What can I say other than I refuse to support a company that does this?  It's crazy.

That's subjective.  There's is no excuse and it's scary that you'd come to defense of a company over the dollar of the consumer.  Especially when there's this thing called economic equilibrium which benefits both the business and consumer, but in this case, has been thrown completely out the window.  I don't want to see this practice continuously tried elsewhere.  But, one day, you'll see this:

"While we are extremely grateful to our most dedicated of fans buying every bit of our game's content, you're not supposed to buy everything. You buy what you uniquely want. It's a benefit because not only is it not pay to win, you're not going to see too many people using the same DLC as you, keeping the game looking fresh."

Games are going to become a mini-service, released as $60 betas at this rate.

You keep saying there is no excuse but you have absolutely no ideal the effort involved in creating the extra content.  62 costumes seems like a hell of a lot of costumes.  Its not like the main game is missing in this department.  Either way, I understand you not willing to purchase the season pass because of the price but then again its not like the season pass is giving you nothing.  I just wonder if its more relisted then anything else to have a season pass at that cost even if it has all of those costumes.  Its not priced for the average gamer but as long as you have the choice to purchase the characters and the costume you want, still not see the issue.

And you have no idea what economic equilibrium is.  It's a digital product.  You can mitigate costs to a higher number of users if you simply lower the price.  More people paying a lower price is better than less people paying a higher price, when it comes to a digital product that' going to remain on servers for the next 10+ years..  There is no excuse for this.  If something costs 1000 dollars to make, are you going to charge 1 person 1000 dollars, or are you going to charge 50 people 20 dollars.  You don't have to use such outragious pricing.  I don't care how much development resources you put into making 65 costumes, which eclipses 1.5 x the cost of the game.  If there's 15 costumes per character, and you feel like 93 dollars is justified, then perhaps the game itself should cost over 2000 dollars, since you get 15 costumes per character anyway.

This company is greedy..  I'm not supporting them.  I don't care what the game plays like.  Lower the price, or I'm not touching it.
