  - Reasoning: The provided reviews focus on DLC content, expressing that the fighter packs are not worth their price, which indicates a community that is highly price-sensitive and critical of value. While no direct base-game price feedback is given, the negative sentiment toward overpriced add-ons suggests a preference for lower overall costs, likely extending to the base game. The community seems to expect content to be offered at a discount or at a lower price point to feel fair. Therefore, a conservative estimate for the base game is a modest range below the typical $20-30 for similar titles, reflecting the community's emphasis on affordability.
