Honestly even if the price is a bit high, I'd be fine with it if they didn't say it was a limited time purchase. I tend to wait for price drops on these things and limited time dlc is never a good idea.

Well, they want people to buy it before Capcom Cup since part of the money is going to the Capcom Cup prize pool, it would be pointless to buy it after Capcom Cup.

Think of it like DOTA2's Compendium. Nobody buys last years Compendium after TI is done.

As long as the content will be there in the future, I don't really care.

I don't know anything about DOTA, sorry.

Every year, Valve sells a "Compendium" of which the money made is then used as part of the prize pool for The International in August. And this doesn't even necessarily provide in game content. The money raised is usually one of the biggest prize pools in all of eSports - the current pool for TI6 from this year's Compendium is already at 17.6 million dollars.

As for whether or not the stage and colors will be made available after Capcom Cup, who knows. That said, they will likely not say anything about it until after Capcom Cup.

Ok I see, well alright then. I only really want the chun li costume to be honest, if the deadline draws near and there is no news about it staying up I'll probably just get that.

New optional content and people getting mad?

I'm personally mad because the game doesn't work properly on my PC(Dual monitor setup) and they haven't done anything to alleviate that. They more or less proved every cynic right who said they made survival mode impossible on purpose so that people would bitch about it and give them an excuse to charge for shit that they traditionally dont charge for. Also its annoying that they wont release the content at the same time so that PC guys could have it at the same time.

Basically its not them offering additional content thats annoying people, its the fact that people feel cheated and lets be real the people who bought the season pass did get cheated.

Blame Sony since they most likely paid for it.

As for paying for colors, they have to fund the CPT somehow. Supporting the game, with the patches, extra content, and of course, the Pro Tour costs money and they need to support that somehow.

Look at all the games with big competitive pushes (SFV, Mortal Kombat X, and of course, DOA5), you'll notice that the're set up to make alot of money on microtransactions and post launch content.

I bought the season pass, don't need to grind and even got a stage for free. I don't feel cheated.

Heck, for months now I've been saying that I'd pay to unlock colors. To paraphrase what Lab Zero founder and former top MvC2/GG/3S player Mike Z said (when making Skullgirls) - having to play single player to unlock stuff for multiplayer doesn't make sense, if there's a secondary option to unlock stuff, even if it requires payment, then that's a better solution.

These all are half as shameless in their pricing as a certain still unfinished game.
5.99 for a costume and 9.99 for a stage (so bland and simple as in SFV at that)? How can anyone in their right mind defend that?

You aware that some people like to use their costumes in single player modes? Well, if there are single player modes in the game that is... >__>

Yeah but there should be...I don't know...a middle ground?
Even DOA5 through it's expansions has made costumes that don't sell that well free for those that didn't buy the latest game or even get those DLC yet unlockable as any other costume. You can expect that from any fighting game that does expansions on top of that(Xrd Revelator only has one set of colors you could buy and 2 ways to get colors in that game)

Leaving Colors behind a ridiculous Survival Mode and then making another option to pay for them is just what the fuck. Even Team Ninja knew how bullshit it was to get the Swimsuit costumes for Christie, Lisa and Tina so they made them so you only had to do Online Matches if going through their main means was too much.

And we're only 6 months into SFV. How long was it before DOA5U came out. Who knows what'll happen down the line. The thing is, you can't suddenly make them free too soon lest you end up pissing off those who actually pay for them.

And? There should be alternate ways without having to make them purchasable. I just gave you a good example with the swimuit challenges to DOA5 Vanilla to DOA5U.

If you want to be pessimistic, you can easily use SFIV as an example since their color schemes always came from Arcade and only Arcade along with Taunts, so why did they go so backwards from that?

Finally got around to playing Story Mode. It was pretty solid. Just too short. Now back to not touching this game until another major update.

Why would you announce an alternate way to unlock the CPT stuff at this point in time when the point is to help add to the prize pool at Capcom Cup?

Colors in vanilla SFIV were mostly unlocked through survival and challenge modes.
