No he's absolutely right. One of the huge reasons fgc don't get paid is because of attitudes like this. Fgc nikkas don't spend money once they buy the game and a stick. I wouldn't pay y'all nikkas either
Multiversus did that because Multiversus is one of the most popular games in the world right now and it JUST came out. WB has shown that they really believe in this game and so far they've been right
Oh I don't doubt the initial hype and money generation. The question is how do they retain and KEEP nikkas
that's why I ain't having a judgement on that game till it's out for two years

But again it comes back to my point of why the average person hates fighting games. If Riot can make a fg that appeals to the casual or the fringe fg fan they'll do fine
Fighting Games just have a high ass drop once the 10% get too good
I use to think Capcom was broke then I found out about how huge Monster Hunter was. Then I found out how good the Resident Evil remakes we're doing and felt dumb
Resident Evil 8 sold 3 million copies the first day. Them nikkas could never make another Street Fighter and be good
You've told me zero I don't already know. These games don't appeal to casuals the way they want. They possibly never will. Throwing an extra 25K in the Evo pot is not going to kill any of these companies. Monster Hunter alone saved Capcom from being bought or going bankrupt. They can invest some of that into SF if they want it to grow and flourish. This isn't the 90s anymore, and the business model is different since they can't make a grip on coin op machines any more. The reason they should invest into pots:

Nikkas don't realize how long Ono had to beg Capcom to make SF4 because Capcom was done with fighting games. It's hard for them shyts to make money. They just created a fighting game division so they have more belief now than before but if this SF6 shyt don't work we right back to the dark ages
And I get nikkas frustration with micro transactions but I really don't mind them. They're optional. If we talking about some pay to win shyt it's a different story but I can't be mad at nikkas selling digital clothes if nikkas wanna buy them. It's fun and nikka you don't HAVE to buy the costume let the nikkas that like it enjoy that shyt
Sonic is fine. He's made a high six figures off fgs just from winning so much

Unlike the big E-Sports games, there isn't even the ILLUSION you can make a living playing their game. I've been playing Magic: The Gathering since the 90s and they're going through the same thing. They had their own Pro Tour, where if you did well enough, you would get aifare and at certain levels an appearance fee to go play tournaments abroad, along with whatever you won. The company sold itself to Hasbro, and since, has cut the Tour, and keeps scaling back the prizes. There are no "stars" any more. You can't make a "living" playing any more. If the game wasn't so ridiculously good and addictive, it would have failed by now. The FGC NEVER had this. They ALMOST did with the advent of the CPT, but Capcom is so worried about their own events, and not the community as a whole, it stagnated. Someone a tier under Idom, who top 8s semi-regularly, should be able to pay his rent, car and basics by grinding, before becoming a walking billboard for some team. That's how you get people fiending to get to that level, and investing time and money into mastering a competitive sport.
Look at this guy:
Johnathan Wendel - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
He was good at one game, and had his own computer part line, and drove a FERRARI. He was a gaming nerd, but looked (at least surface) like he had a good life off it, and got p*ssy. THAT'S why fools were going crazy trying to play high level Quake III. You can't expect people to dedicate their lives to shyt like that for crumbs. Justin Wong should be as popular as Daigo is in Japan. A poor immigrant kid from NYC that took on the world, the marketing writes itself, but no one tried to capitalize (Triforce did, but he failed on some fronts, along with a huge dose of racism).
FOH. It's not my job to make SF a success, it's CAPCOM's. I bought SF5 and DBZF for GP to "support", but don't play either. That's MORE than enough. I stopped playing in tournaments over a decade ago, so I don't have to do shyt. If they don't want to make the steps necessary for SF to work, they should stop making it. You sound retarded telling us WE have to pay extra for SF to be a viable tournament game. Why is that needed all of a sudden when SF is 30 years old? 25K is life changing to you I guess, but Capcom probably spends more than that on office furniture per year. It's nothing when you pull in 8 or 9 figures a year.
