I think that's missing a lot of the content. If SF6 was free to play, if wouldn't have the single player portion. And would have had a couple of free characters.

2XKO is going to launch with something like 9 characters(might be missing remembering the number), Maybe they add more before release but it is a tiny roster for a tag game.

There is also massive changes between games, and they don't disappear, so you can still have those tournaments. If it goes free to play, I feel like they kinda get stuck with the game and systems and no easy way to move onwards, with a bit of a PR nightmare(abandoning the game and all that).

I feel like there is pros and cons to both methods, but don't really think f2p Street Fighter is a good move. I do think sf7 whenever that is released will be another paid game, and will be more expensive upfront.

I do think fighting games are a special case because the DLC is so obvious that the seasonal microtransaction stuff is not as much of a focus.

But hey, SF6 did add a battlepass, so... it's moving in that direction. We'll see.

Yeah, I have a love(like... tolerate)/hate relationship with the battle pass. I don't mind it, cause it is cheap, pointless and you get your money back, and it is super easy to complete it.

But also, it can fuck off, battle passes suck in their timed implementation, it is pointless, you have to get premium currency to get it which is obviously not purchasable at the exact amount.

Only thing I think was good is that it bought in the emulated game catalogue.
