For example, each season pass cost $100 which is actually more expensive than the base game itself.
The Season Pass and some of the DLCs were also extremely expensive. Various recurring characters such as Momiji and Rachel were also locked behind the paywall, despite they appeared in the base rosters in all of previous games since they debuted (excluding Dead or Alive 5 due to its "game dissection" practices). The final boss of the story mode is just cyborg Raidou, who was a DLC in the previous game. Nyotengu (one of the most popular character in Dead or Alive franchise) and Phase 4 (the final boss from Dead or Alive 5) were locked behind DLC paywall like in previous game.
Most of them is just a recolored costumes for characters, and some skimpy outfits.
As of June 2020, Koei Tecmo have released 456 DLCs and 4 season passes in only 15 months after the game is released which inflated the price of the "full" game to ridiculous amount of US$2,068, this made even a ridiculous pricing on the full Steam version of The Sims 3 by EA look cheap in comparison.
Exploitation on DLCs and Season Pass taken to the extreme despite the game's initial pricing tag is US$60, which is on high-end price for AAA games, Koei Tecmo released a ridiculous amount of DLCs and season passes in just a short span of time.
