These types of decisions that get passed, really make me wonder where there head is at. Of course they are thinking about money, but i wonder if they realize they are trying to advertise to people who have already purchased their game. Like they said, if they made a F2P version with all these heavy ads, then sure. But targeting the people who have already paid and supported your game, is just so scummy.

The addition of ads with bonus fight money in them sets a dangerous precedent and could allow Capcom to throttle the current payout in order to force people to turn ads on while still saying it’s optional. This is always a slippery slope.

That's exactly what's going to happen. Then they'll just straight up put them in the game without giving people a choice.

[@hutte1751]

"You don't make less money, you just make more if you put ads on." So, you make less money with ads off...

[@kyubiiofrage]

Hutt E yeah, but the way capcom is doing it now is you’re going to start earning less money than you did before for the same thing. Instead of just increasing it if you turn on ads, the stander earning will now be what you make with ads on.

[@53C71028]

@Hutt E Think of it this way: Less | Same | More Less (w/o ads) | Same (w/ads) = bad Same (w/o ads) | More (w/ads) = not so bad It's essentially you being nerfed and need the ad buff to return to what you were. While the other is you being the same but has the option to get an ad buff if you want it. One is a lose-win option and the other is a lose-lose option imposed upon you. But you are not incorrect.

[@bellboy64]

That's not the same. That's not the same at all. With the current one all you can do is lose money. They are removing your ability to gain the NORMAL amount if you don't have ads on. So in other words it's a punishment. And as Woolie said, the ship has sailed on that idea when they made it a full price and sold it as such. Woolie's idea takes the sting off. If you don't want ads you won't lose anything, it's business as usual. Nothing will change for you. ...Buuuut if you let us show ads, we'll say thanks by increasing the money can earn in-game. An INCENTIVE if you will.

[@LuminousLead]

Functionally it'd probably be the same numbers, yeah, but given this is an industry that thrives on simulated property a little mental gymnastics can go a long way towards player self-worth.

[@Whitexican1301]

Pat looks like that Brendon Fraiser meme

[@badjab326]

In this vid: Tons of misinformation 1. The outfits are new and free and part of the ad sponsor program 2. There are ads on specific DLC stages only (CPT bundle stages) 3. The loading screen ads are literally just a static image for 2 seconds before a fight 4. The fight money values all stay the same, by toggling each of the 3 ad options you get 4 bonus fm per ad, its a hardly noticeable difference. To clarify, you don't get less by turning ads off, you only get more for turning them on.

[@p-townhero]

Ay DUDES, they fucking put a sticker on the skulls that Dhalsim wears, those are the skulls of kids he couldn't save LMFAO

[@Reyvierno]

Destiny 2 did the same thing with the XP thing. At first, you would earn less experience for doing the same thing over and over again(to stop people from grinding too much and over leveling). People realized this and got mad. Now there is a "Well Rested" buff that gives you bonus XP for your first 3 progression bars of the week, and no one is complaining.

If they did like a Street Fighter V Last Round maybe it would be fine, but the game already costs like $70 just to get it plus Season 3.

[@Theblueipod2012]

Lol, want to change that statement?

[@jor4114]

The thing that's bugging me the most is, like Pat said, the logos on the characters that would have no reason to be there. Ryu is a literal karate hobo. He sleeps on the street and eats only what he can harvest from nature or some actual food once in a while when either Ken or Sakura is around to treat it to him. Like, look at his dirty ass training gear! His gi isn't even white anymore, it's fucking gray by this point. He probably hasn't washed that since SF2! And he's gonna plaster it all over with logos of sponsors because..? Then we have the other end of that spectrum with the villains wearing uniforms with famous brands on them. Imagine M. Bison with Apple stylized gear. Because they totally would allow their logo to be associated with a man know to be a wanted dictator, crime lord, drug smuggler, kidnapper, war monger, and supposed sex slaver. Actually, I wouldn't put it past them.

This is stupid. I kept on thinking "maybe I should pick up Street Fighter V", but Xbox Game Pass has Mortal Kombat X, so I'm glad I dodged this shit. MKX has its own problems, on a design and gameplay level alongside some monetisation stuff that happens a lot in fighting games. If any game would have this kind of sponsoring thing it would be one of the UFC or W2K games. UFC literally has sponsored shit on the mats of the octagon, on the shorts of the fighters and just... around.

I find it silly that instead of giving Ryu a different set of clothes for the advertisements, they just copy-pasted them onto his old one’s. Specifically Ryu.

[@brokenphantom3g]

I feel like I'm the only one that isn't that put off by this. Ok, listen, people like Woolie and Pat and the like, the serious players, aren't the targets of these ads. They were always going to buy the game and the packs and support the product. THAT's why they have the option to turn off the ads. Which, by the way, do NOT reduce the fight money received by being off, that's a miss-statment from the article. You earn extra fight money with the ads on, and normal money with them off. But someone who just got the game(or get's it free to try it out) will be in a better position going forward by using the extra fight money from the ads as they decide whether or not to pay more into the game going forward. I don't see this as a GOOD thing for game in general, it's not a positive. I wouldn't use it as a selling point. But I also don't see it as any kind of cataclysmic failure or betrayal.

[@SiegmundCG]

Yup, Capcom is doing exactly what they're suggesting so this isnt even that big a deal.

[@theplayfulparody2183]

The problem is more that the "Slippery Slope" argument, which is normally fallacious, has proved to be fairly accurate in the games industry the past few years. Basically people are more worried about the potential implications of this and what it might lead into. But it's a bit too early to tell at this stage. This could be fine, or it could be shit. Depends on the implementation.

Those are good points. As long as they either continue to allow payed players to opt out, OR introduce these mechanics as a separate free to play option from the primary game. Introducing new options without taking away from the paying players isn't that bad a thing. As long as it stays that way.
