10 Video Games That Would Sell MILLIONS With One Simple Tweak
9. Street Fighter V - Release One, Complete Version
We should have seen it coming. Capcom have been pulling this since Street Fighter II, so this shouldn't really be a surprise.
The difference then is that back then, consoles weren't online and cartridges couldn't be updated. So a revision of a game was taken as read that you'd have to buy it again. Fair enough, kind of.
Yet in this day of live service games and hard drive storage, updates and new characters/maps can be rolled out pretty easily. Sadly, they usually come at a price. So naturally, people are going to be wary of buying another iteration of Street Fighter when they've already splashed out for the base version.
That SFV was rushed out for the esports scene was bad enough, but to make us buy long established characters as "season packs" takes the biscuit.
But had they waited, and the same applies to Tekken too, and released one full game at one price, it'd shift units quicker than you can input one of Zangief's piledrivers. Perhaps now Capcom are on the rise again, they'll stop pulling this for Street Fighter VI.
