    I remember hearing this about the Monster Hunter games a few years ago, so it isn’t surprising to hear it holds true for their other franchises, as well. That said, it would be nice if they focused a bit more resources on optimizing the games for their new primary platform.

    I was curious about street fighter games again, then I saw the price tag… and the 90% discounts whenever they apply them…

    I’d never ever buy a game that offers 50-90% discounts. I assume it’s a nothing more then a cashgrab

    bye Capcom… you were fun in the past, and that’s where you shall stay.

        Yeah it’s veeeery flawed logic for steam. Most people don’t buy games unless they’re on sale, and the only way to make the sales attractive over a long time is to keep raising the discount

        I’ve never seen an Indy dev have 90% off, and 80 DLCs… only aaaaa slop does this.

        hence my discount comment. high discount = red flag on game is either dead, abandoned, or about to be replaced with the copypaste+1 title of the game.

        I’m not knocking sales, just aaaaaaa crap sales since they almost always use 50-90% whereas indy devs seem to be 10-30%.

      Isn’t the point of modern fighting games to get you to buy the dlc which never has as good sales as the regular game. Like they need you to have the game so that you can spend more than you paid for the game for the meta characters

        Im from. the times when you just playedthe game to unlock things, not paid more to unlock access to it.

        I’m just fed up and done with these studios and I refuse to give them any leeway or breaks anymore

        they purposely cripple their products to attempt to extract more from the end user, so I purposely voice my opinion on why they are horrible games from horrible companies.
