People expect a game such as this to still be relevant to play after 9 months. A lack of a support for such a title is just poor. The price isn't too much of an issue for the hardcore fan as yes, buying all the new characters as DLC would cost more.
But what about those who never want to play as those new characters? A rebalance + new moves upgrade is hardly worth $40 to them. And in all seriousness how many of these new characters do you think people will seriously put time into? 2? 3? I don't know many who play with every character for a long amount of time. So in that case most people would only be interested in downloading 3 characters top, if that - if any!
For the people who brought the game the first time around they've spent $60+$40. $100 on this game. Instead of just the one time purchase. If a game is re-released with additional content that content should be available for people who already own the game without having to buy it again.
Imagine if instead of the big DLC for Fallout 3 being DLC, it came out on disc every time, with the original game (sure your save would still work in this case). It would just be stupid, and that's what this is - stupid.
