    I was curious about street fighter games again, then I saw the price tag… and the 90% discounts whenever they apply them…

    I’d never ever buy a game that offers 50-90% discounts. I assume it’s a nothing more then a cashgrab

    bye Capcom… you were fun in the past, and that’s where you shall stay.

      Lol ok. That’s some dumb reasoning not to play a good game. I guess you never play anything old, and prefer to get ripped off? And when you finally can get the games at a good value, you snub your nose, assuming something has to be wrong with it to be that cheap? You’re doing a ton of mental gymnastics for no reason.

      Publishers often give steep discounts on the older games in a property to generate hype and sales before a new entry is released.

      I never played dead rising when it originally came out. I picked up the first one for 95% off when the remake came out. It ended up being one of my favorite games. If I used your logic, I’d overspend on everything, and I’d never find games I missed like that.
