Agreed, most games now are sold as a service and not as a product so brace for worst, but still, to me there are cases where season pass are fine, like @gnova mentioned, it’s not greed to charge for content that they put significant resources, and in every case, you can simply choose to not buy it. But with fighting games it's different. Fighting games are mostly niche, they need it's community to survive, they need a healthy player base to have tournaments to generate hype and income, but when those greedy companies charge you extra for a character who was in past releases, they are doing the opposite. And you can also say that it's totally pay to win when it comes to fighting games, because if you want to get better in the game, you can't simply choose to not buy it, because without buying you can't even learn a DLC character moveset in training mode, so how are you gonna beat a Hilde player in ranked matches without paying $7 to get access to the character in training mode?

 

For Soul Calibur 6, the developpers were already talking about DLC characters, pre-order costumes, season pass, pre-order bonus characters and shit like that when the base roster of the game wasn't even known yet, that's how you know you're going into a scam. One of the DLC's in Soul Calibur 6 is the Character Creation Set, there's a bunch of them, each costs around $1.99 and the description reads: "Additional items for use in Character Creation; These items include the following: Brand new items for SOULCALIBUR VI". That is a lie, most of those Creation items, are straight copy&paste from previous entries, and they are behind a dlc paywall. 


What The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt did for its DLC is how it should be done. But Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Tekken, they’re doing it wrong. 
 

I fired up Street Fighter V not too ago and I saw Character Passes. Fighters that were in past entries are now being reintroduced as DLC that you have to pay for. So they’re in the same boat as Soul Caliber. 
 

We also don’t care about gambling and lootboxes, as games like NBA 2K21 have a system where you can easily spend hundreds and thousands of dollars.
