Not only am I not buying fighting games physically anymore, Unless it has Denuvo I'm buying them on Steam.
I don't mind season passes for fighting games so long as they are priced reasonably. I'm from the era when adding even the smallest thing means buying the game all over again at full price. MAYBE you'd get a discounted upgrade kit if you ran an arcade but that's pretty much the old way. So $20-30 season passes I'm fine with. But this also makes buying fighting games physically completely pointless. It's also a nightmare for people on the preservation side of things. Unless there's some weirdo out there that has the installer files for every single fighting game with a Season pass on a hard drive somewhere. 10 years from now you think we'll be able to play Street Fighter V before they added the second V skill and V shift? Yeah if we're playing the barebones first version limited to the PS4 disc but not the version with a fuller roster and arcade mode.
The average person doesn't care about this stuff, and honestly neither do the companies that make these games. But I like going back to older versions and seeing how a fighting game evolved over time. We're either getting gold code or the final game IF WE ARE LUCKY.
This applies to any competitive game but as somebody who loves fighting games and more than half of my physical game collection is fighters It's something I've been thinking about.
