XIII and XV both use assets from previous experimental games so I don't see why people are up and arms about the Orochi team being DLC. Heck, KOF'02UM was tagged at full price when they only replaced a single character: K9999 with Nameless and people went ape shit over him for being cool despite being a literal head swap.
But all of a sudden in 2022, people are getting mad about XV for "reusing old assets and making them pay money for it" when they've been doing it for over a decade now.
Yup, they only replaced a single character. And ported all other characters to a new engine. And then included literally every previous fighter from the games of that saga, along with their variations. And rebalanced the entire cast, adding the moves they had previously + some brand new stuff too. And changed the music, menus, stages, the arcade mode... And added some new game modes along with it.
Do you actually think a full-game price tag isn't justifiable in this case?
