And this is with 1 DLC which you paid for.
What they do is they decide to make MK11 a game that they will support constantly and the cycle of the game will be longer. This is their word and they said the only way to do so is to put MTX and to pay for the extra characters and contents.
I see plenty of people here complain about Blizzard won`t give them the so call "full/entire" game, but they will cut some part and put it as MTX. Tho this is ridiculous statement, what MK11 do, so the DEVS to constantly support the game and give new content and so on:
With MK11 base game you get like half roster. So should we accuse the Devs they didn`t gives us the full/entire game, but cut big part of the game, so they can earn more money?
There is plenty of MTX, but as well you paid extra for Shao Khan, and he was with the game release, but not include in base game, unless some "edition" of the game. Then you have to pay for Shang Tsung, for Night Wolf, and then DLC with 3rd variation, the list goes on with characters like Terminator, Sindel to come out, Joker and so on. You also can just buy Kombat Pack for "better deal".
This is just for characters/3rd variation. And you have other MTX, like skins and so on.
Tho there is plenty of great skin for free, you need to grind for them.
But i know what i`m buying i was okay with it. I don play some character, so i don`t buy some of them and i don`t complain.
For the money they get, we receive constant support, balance and new things in one of other form.
And you still need to pay for PS+ in order to play multiplayer, and this is for server support.
In Diablo you get a free server, MTX are entirely optional and everyone benefits from them, even the guys that will spend 0, because they will still get the support and future content, thanks to the guys that spend at MTX.
This is how things works.
