You paid 3 times for the game to have content that isn`t really 3 games worthy of it. Or do you think from the base game to the additional chars and extras it costed them twice over the base cost?

I probably rounded it up to 200CAD, it was more likely 180CAD all in all, I won't go check my statements. The MSRPs are
60USD for Smash Ultimate
25USD for Fighter Pass Vol 1 containing 5 new fighters and all their related content (spirits, stages, music, etc.)
25USD for Fighter Pass Vol 2 containing another 5 new fighters and their related content

For a total of 110USD

I think it took them 4 years to get everything as it is today after the launch of the game, and with an MSRP of 60USD, at 50USD we get the rest of the content we have a factor of roughly 2. Moreover I accepted that price because it had value to me and I understand the work behind it and I esp. understand that without that setup, I would not be able to enjoy such a complete gaming experience for Smash.

I think it's acceptable.

As for online multiplayer, I also understand that it is a platforms for all games played on Switch and a service that I'm paying for. If you disagree with that setup, then like I said they should charge at the game level rather than at the platform level to recuperate costs.

However whether they charge a premium for online play at the game level or at the platform level, they must offer a working service.

This again is my point from the start.

So you are paying 5USD per char on the DLC and their related content... on the base game you paid 60 USD for like 60 char or 1 per char and the base game/gameplay/etc. So you are paying at least 5x over. That will show you that as usual DLC is a greedy mechanism. You`ll be fine with it and think it is acceptable to your or have value and that doesn`t really change it. Your defense of it is just like all other players used to defend in the past and were criticized by Nintendo fanbase.
