Oh calling me out, huh? I feel I've totally got my money's worth with CS.
I think DLC characters in a fighting game is the right move to make. I'd much rather pay a couple bucks per character over time than wait for a hard copy of the plus disc. The balancing, the other big part of the updates, will be free. And by the time all these updates come out and are put on an official hard copy is released, the core release will already be available for cheaper, so the DLC doesn't make the game all that more expensive.
It helps that CS and SSFIV were sold for cheaper than normal to begin with. If you only bought the three extra characters in CS, you ended up paying about $60 altogether. $40 for CS1 and $20 for CS2. And that's if you got everything when they first came out. A perk of DLC is that PSN and XBL sometimes discount content. CS's DLC is discounted right now, I believe. And Valkenhayn on XBL was sold at a discount to begin with. I don't know if Yun, Yang, and whatever other characters are in SSFIVAE will cost $20 altogether, but it's still better than having to wait until there's a disc with them on it.
Sure CS2 has all that stuff built in. But it will come out 8 months after CS1 came out. And it's on the PSP for likely $30. The people who care about this stuff would've gotten CS1 on day 1 on 360 or PS3 and know better than to play that game on a PSP.
If you bought the additional colors and announcers for CS, then yeah that's more than $60. Yeah, they could be implemented into the physical release for no extra cost. But so what? They're extras that don't impact the gameplay any. They're there if you want them. And you're not entitled to these extras. To use a different analogy, it's like decorations on a car like decals or spinning rims. You don't need them for your car to function, but they're there if you want to express yourself.
You are spoiled by the kindness game companies offered in years past. They include these fun little extras for free, and you now expect the same from games today. The game has changed and you don't like the changes. So you shout and complain and want things to go back to the way they were. Like a bitter kermudgeny old fart.
Oh yeah, and quit reminding us of the leaked list the guy posted on Neogaf. We get it, it's very likely to be true. But what the hell do you care? This is a game you don't even care about. You have nothing to gain if the list is indeed correct. So stop riding that guy's dick and shut up about games you don't even play.
