oh? you want me to tell you the cheat code you have to enter to unlock characters in fighting games nowadays? the cheat code is your credit card info :)

like i get it sure, they want money (lots of it), but charging 10 dollars for each character in some cases and *locking more than half of a game's roster behind a paywall* is disgusting. This practice is getting really out of hand

idm i usually pay, but it's honestly absurd

yes, by paying im "supporting" this disgusting practice but like tf am i supposed to do? lots of the games enjoyment is hidden behind such a paywall that you feel obliged to do so

yes dlc in games is fine and i completely support it

but fighting games really do get out of hand

and here im not really directing this at things like smash, mostly stuff like fucking street fighter V and bbtag
