Still if you add it all up that's a bargain price for the Mona Lisa :p
I'm on board with you all but I'm willing to make an exception for this game since we've been waiting for it for so long and want to see it continually developed, rather than have to wait another 5+ years for the sequel.
Also don't forget the base game is how many times larger than the complete base games released 15 years ago? Back then you could get a Need for Speed game with 8 tracks and ~40 cars and all you had to do was win a tournament and survive an elimination round to unlock some fantasy bonus cars, and you'd have clocked the game within 2 hours. We've got 20 hours out of just the story from the reduced base game of The Crew, then there's all the faction and PvP stuff, all the Platinum medals and Award Points to collect, all the cruising to do...
