As soon as the DLC released, for a now-tiny sum of 200 Microsoft Points ($2.50/£1.50), gamers revolted against the studio.
These people are crazy if they think that is a tiny amount of money for a single item purely cosmetic DLC in a single-player game. That is a lot of money now and was a lot of money back then for that little value.

It was a simpler time.
Now charging real money for boosts and cosmetics for paid AAA single player games has been normalized:

It’s tiny in comparison to cosmetic transactions nowadays. Still ridiculous, then as now
What are skins going for now in games like Fortnite, R6, or CS:GO? Aren’t some going for as much as a new game? More?
“normal” is around $10, “high” is $20-30, we’ve seen as high as $500 iirc.
Most indie games release between $15-30. Honestly most skins are around the cost of a new game, yeah.
