I don’t know why TC don’t make the price point around $2-$5 for skins and characters, many more would bite around that, anything more it falls into WTH HOW MUCH!?

hI man
Its not enough what I want its at least 5 ammo boxes on each horde stage, if they give me that I would be happier .
Yeah, I get what you’re saying, my point is rather that no company could release products & could get away with a 1,000 plus percent mark up on their previous product, so why is that okay for video game companies to do that to their loyal consumers?
To your point, yeah Street Fighter charged $5.99 and I’m pretty sure Mortal Kombat 11 is about the same price, but those characters are all fully unique built from the ground up when it comes to their move sets and animations.
Gears characters are essentially skins except for their “unique abilities” in horde. But those characters don’t take nearly as much development work to build as Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat Characters. Those games also release with large rosters to begin with. I’m not as familiar with Street Fighter but all Mortal Kombat’s Characters are decked out with unique animations, voices, move sets, fatalities. That’s a lot more development work put into those characters.
And I think you have to factor in that Gears Roster was always bigger in the past, that they are now charging money for characters that were always included in the rosters & FREE in previous versions and skins were generally FREE to earn as well. They’ve just regressed all across the board, but one thing is consistent, they want you to pay a 1,000% mark up on their in game products.

Now I’m curious because it’s been so long I can’t remember.
Does anyone know how many of Gears 4’s multiplayer characters were available at launch before they started adding with packs? I know that Gears 2 & 3 obviously had more options than Gears 5, but I genuinely can’t remember what we started with in Gears 4.
I wanna say 4 had more than 5 out of the gate, but I can’t say it with confidence.

I posted about the starting character content here. Starting cog were much more varied and a wider cast to choose from while swarm was pretty much consistent in GoW4 compared to 5. And on top of each character was at least 1 other variant for them for the most part and then of course there were the day of the dead, zombies, and color blasts…but it was unlockable content nevertheless!

From what I’m aware of, the # of character skins in 5 come in at 50-60% of what was available out of the gates in 4.
4 also started with more maps.

Yeah I know there were more maps. Couldn’t find an easy list of every available character/skin at launch though.
@The_lMlan cleared it up for me.
At the risk of sounding like a toddler, it’s not about paying for things. This game has been rocky from the start and I now feel like a fool preordering the ultimate edition. I didn’t care about the terminator skins (still don’t), I was just excited to play.
And now TC pulls this? The same thing they’ve been doing since the beginning? I haven’t spent any of the complimentary or TOD iron so theoretically I could buy the pumpkins and Kait skins, but I don’t want to show them any more support until they show some kind of support to their customers.
In comparison of the things they’ve fixed vs the things they’ve added to the store,… it’s incredibly frustrating.
