The price of the new DLC is ridiculous
Not only did the game have too little content to even be considered finished and I, myself, expected free updates which would add new weapons, gadgets etc. but they released a DLC instead of it? The game is kind of hard to stay with recently because of the lack of content anyway and you expect me to pay half the price of the original for a new gamemode and a couple of new weapons which should really be introduced in an update? Honestly, I can't see myself buying the DLC, at least not until the price of it gets reduced drastically or until new content is added to the base game to at least keep me interested.

then at it to your wishlist and wait it out on a sale.
The price of apple products is ridiculous as well and alot of people who think it's worth it buy it as well. It's called modern economics

We did release new weapons (6x in Tons of Guns), a device (Repair Station), three BPO commanders, and maps (Hellmouth, Ziggurat, etc.). We also integrated Steam Workshop, modding support for environments and campaigns, and other minor features. That includes example mods (large sandbags, demo campaign, Mars environment and map) and live support on Discord. Plus many other features such as multi-fort AI and ranked multiplayer. Several languages were added (Polish, Korean, Japanese, Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, Chinese, Hungarian, and Turkish). We have run or facilitated tournaments, some with prizes. All for free.

The Moonshot features (4 weapons, 3 commanders, portals), game mode (capture point), and maps can be played by non-owners by joining a host who owns it. That's free content. Some features that came with that update are available to mod/map makers without DLC ownership, such as hazard/no build terrain. The new campaign and UI skin/music is reserved for owners.

Of course we expect a variety of responses to the product as it's priced. Some will buy it, some will wait until it's discounted, and some will not buy it at all. It's up to you to decide what it's worth, as we have done. That's how markets work.

I mean, I guess since 90% of the game is multiplayer you are providing most players with the DLC but I just often felt, while playing the game that even though the mechanics and the idea is solid it should be expanded further ya know? I mean, the languages aren't even really an addition that most of the players are concerned by. For me as a player getting an "update", essentialy that I kinda waited for as a DLC is just kinda disappointing. I will probably still buy it once it goes on sale but I just think the game feels bare sometimes which is why I made this post.

Our team is small: 1.5 programmers, 1 artist and 1 sound designer. This is why we have put effort into supporting user generated content. If you can't find content in the Workshop to interest you, perhaps try making some yourself. See our guides here and here. There are features coming that will allow mods to do new things and we are planning an overhaul of the map editor.
