Well I got the game back when it came out. I did not know the game would be leaning so heavily on paid content after that, so it often felt like missing out on new stuff. It was the same with Elite Dangerous, I backed that from Kickstarter, and then they pull shit like that paid early access content.
I'd say I easily got my money's worth out of both games for what I paid at the time. But it still feels like being screwed over when they start putting price tags on all new content. And it's often not even a lot of content that justifies the price tag. Compare this to games like No Man's Sky, that get free updates quite often.
I think this would've bothered me far less had the base games been free to play games, and then charge for DLC. To me Frontier turned into a greedy company so fast, it's really up there with EA, Blizzard Activision and Epic.
