I've read that you can start over. But not in any kind of sensible in game way.

You have to completely delete all of the game's files off your computer and steam cloud

You have to start from a fresh install every time

Maybe they'll sell a microtransaction that allows people to start over.

I was joking around but I just read that is literally true, what the hell?

No, it's not literally true. There's an MTX to re-customize your character (not start a new game), which seems to be an option in-game too but maybe later or maybe it's expensive.

I hate having to "defend" these MTX but everyone is misrepresenting what's going on...
