Yes, but if you were a collector who found rare coins with a metal detector, and a rare and elusive coin was available for a low price, you might purchase it to fill a gap in your collection. Ive earned 95% of my fighters, but to get an ideal line-up in all fighting styles, I'd have to play this game for 15 years. :P

As for the actual cost. Time is money. If you spend endless hours playing Live Events to try and win a particular fighter and then end up winning a dupe, you just spent 3-4 hours of your time for nothing. I can earn a lot more than the fighter costs in that amount of time. I choose to play the Live Events because I agree that it's more fun to win the fighters, and don't spend money needlessly (work time is not unlimited, after all). The time/money trade off is exactly why I don't mind dishing out a few bucks here and there. I'm far from rich, but my time can't be replaced. Money comes and goes. If I want something, I don't mind paying. I went through the little egotistical "free games aren't worth real money" phase, but I realized I can't complain about free fighters when the ones I want are available to purchase. I agree everyone has their own situation though. I will probably regret not buying Pena on Monday.
