I've been waiting ages for another killer instincts but I hate how microsoft as done the game. The game is free but with only 1 character and you need to buy the other characters

Don't trust reading purely a single article or video because, if you looked around and did some research...
That entire thing about Killer Instinct was an entire misconception that blew up over the internet primarily thanks to gaming sites like IGN (whom is believed to be the source of the misconception.)
The free-to-play is merely a massive "Demo" in which players have access to basically the majority of the game though they can only play with Jago (1 character) while having to pay for any additional characters they may want to unlock to play with so they can be selective with their characters.
This is actually a really nice idea because it caters to a particular audience.
HOWEVER, you can still pick up the full game with all of the roster, full game, etc just like any other major published fighting game.
So, you get choices depending on how interested you are or plan to be with the game, as well as a chance to essentially "Try" the game while not being able to experience the whole thing to see if you actually enjoy it.
It's...
A very good marketing strategy that is fairly consumer friendly.
Sad to see how much bad press something like this can get over a silly misconception.
Please watch:

Ugh, what terrible Journalism, not even showing both sides of the story.
Edit: Also, Why blame Microsoft?
Wouldn't it be the developers choice in the matter to do such a thing? -_-
Everyone blames the Publisher, never the devs, so silly.
