For me, it's the principle of the matter. As a gamer and even more so as a collector, I'm completely supporting these companies and franchises. In the same token that it's not right to pirate a game that these developers/companies worked hard on, you shouldn't take your community as simpleton cash cows to take advantage of. I just refuse to support Xbone as a gamer regardless of what "promising" incentive that is being dangled in front of me if I know that a company doesn't care about the community that put them on the map to begin with.
Even if it comes out to retail price, I still won't support it. There's plenty of foul to be had. If people want to pay for every character past Jago, then that's their money. I think it's really silly to be paying for your entire roster in a fighting game. This isn't extra skins or minor aesthetic dlc such as certain costume packs; it is fully fleshed out characters. I don't see why they don't include the main KI roster and add extra characters for dlc. If they are saying this is how the fighting community plays their fighting games, it is a bold faced lie meant to cover up shady corporate practices. The representatives for Xbone KI got booed at Evo - a well known fighting tournament held every year. They are definitely taking into account the gaming habits of a group, but it isn't of the community that has been supporting KI as a franchise and fighters as a genre.
If they go back on what they said just like they went back on their entire policy because they are finally taking into account the voices of the community
, then there is a glimmer that I'll reconsider my position then.
