You can turn them off, but you get less fight money. Fuck this stupid goddamn game.


SF has been around how long and you just realized their stupid. The fact that they've only made it to #5 after all these years should've been the first clue.

Capcom is a top tier developer. Also the post is worded poorly, seems you don't lose money for turning off ads. Instead they'll give you bonus money for keeping ads on.


There's literally no difference in meaning between the two statements. Those who disable ads receive less than those who do not, regardless of whether you want to frame that in a pro- or anti-Capcom way.


Yeah, if you have ads you get more. But if bot, it's business as usual. You will make the aame amount of fight money as you normally would.

I was ready to get worked up too until they mentioned it was for SFV DLC

Least it's not like Destiny, where most of the game is literally locked away if you don't buy the latest DLC

But sure, let's hatesink Capcom and EA again because that takes less effort

I can't stand commercials. I cut the cable and got netflix. Best decision I ever made. Went from paying 120 to 10. Stopped watching sports when they started showing commercials DURING the game using split screen. I quit listening to the radio and only use my ipod. Etc. I'd really hate to have to cut video games out too. Hopefully this isn't something that will start trending.

Sounds like something a free to play game would implement, but this is not free to play. Advertisements do not belong. Unlike most, I've actually enjoyed SFV so far, but this is too far. Probably boycotting until they change or remove this.

im still not sure if this is "get extra reward with ads" or "penalty for no ads", because they're pretty different.
if its the former, then its good. but if its the latter, then fuck them.

It's the former. It's something you can turn off in the game. So if you want you'll never see the ads at all and you'll keep earning the same amount of Fight Money as usual. If you CHOOSE to enable the ads then you'll earn additional Fight Money.

So there's a reward if you choose to use it, and no penalty if you don't. Anyone saying otherwise is being disingenuous.

So either you deal with ads and get more money and access to content unavailable before this update, or keep them off and lose access to nothing you have access to right now.

Sure, thats the corporation-friendly way to phrase it.

now i wonder what will happen if GameFAQs has a "watch ads for extra karma" system tho.

Ads for their own game?

Does this mean Call of Duty can't advertise their DLC in the game anymore?

How about Smash with their fighters pass?

Capcom has done a lot of shady shit but this isn't one of them

Maybe I'm old school. I just want to play not see BS, every time I launch a game or play a game. I bought the game so I can play not so I have the company tell me I have a shitty game unless I buy DLC #412 which makes the game so much better.

I don't mind them advertising content for their game in their game. Plenty of games do it, not limited to games like Rocket League and Rainbow Six Siege. However, the way they do it is on the menu screen where there is basically a section that says "Here's the latest content you can buy". I think that's the way to do it where it fits into the game just fine.

If whats in post #70 is an accurate reflection of how they plan to do it, I feel like it takes away from the aesthetic of the game Having that pro tour plastered all over the characters and in the back ground just looks....tacky and takes away from the aesthetic of the game.

Nah, the content offered gives you absolutely 0 advantages as far as winning and losing matches. That's false equivalence and nothing else.

https://www.engadget.com/2018/12/09/street-fighter-v-ads-december-11th/

Fighting game fans are used to seeing ads in tournaments, but now they're infiltrating the games themselves. Capcom is introducing "sponsored content" to Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition on December 11th to promote its purchasable bundles, costumes and the Pro Tour. You'll see them on costumes, in certain stages and on pre-fight loading screens. This isn't concerning by itself (many real sports have ads, after all), but Capcom goes out of its way to discourage you from turning the ads off.

While you can switch off ads, you'll lose extra Fight Money and access to sponsored material like costumes. In essence, you'll have to either live with the ads or accept that you won't unlock as much content as your ad-friendly peers. And this wouldn't be such an issue if players hadn't already paid full price for SFV on top of add-on purchases. While Capcom isn't running third-party ads (at least not at this moment), the move could be annoying if you've already spent a lot on the game and would rather not see further sales pitches.

Crapcom

Who wants to add to the list?

Also lets all strategize how to save the good IPs from the abusive relationship that is having capcom as your publisher/producer
