Or better yet, make the missions & characters free, and have cosmetics as a way for fans to support the game. If it was like that, I'd gladly pay 20 bucks for a skin. Don't charge me for the game then have ridiculously priced outfits; people will feel ripped off...
Another plus side to making missions FTP is that you won't be splitting your ALREADY SMALL COMMUNITY. It's already difficult to find people to play with, and if more chapters come out, it's going to be even harder because not every existing player is going to buy them. If people aren't finding anyone to play with, they're going to stop playing!! Did you guys at mecurysteam even consider this outcome?? No offense, but from the looks of things, it doesn't seem like you guys put a lot of thought into your decision making.
