I hope the majority of the people complaining bought the game and are actively playing.....I just started the game after patching, went through the patch notes and played a few games with ads on...So far, I make an extra 4fm after every match.....The Ads only appear as your match loads for a few seconds, nothing too intrusive...If I'm creating youtube videos or streaming I can always turn it off. I don't see the big deal......
There was a time some posters were going on about SFV sales being so dire as if celebrating that it did not sell uber millions, they have found ways to keep this game on the circuit with costumes, seasons, capcom pro cup and now...a few non-intrusive ads and people are still losing their minds...It seems some people just wanted this game to fail outright......Yet instead it has held up and it's the most played fighting game all year, the one garnering the most interest with yet another pro cup in two days time...No other fighting game is as hype as SF, no other fighting games puts up the numbers as consistently as SF does....So I'm happy Capcom is finding ways to keep the fighting game with the most mindshare alive and well.....
I know I did my part, I have SFV on PS4 and PC and I also bought the season 1 pass on PS4....So far, I have every character in the game and I still have 700k fm....It's been over 6 months now that I don't even bother with grinding fm or care for the weekly challenges and extra battle etc...I could have had much more......All I do is play, I have close to 22,000 matches on PS4 and closer to 7000 on PC.....It's really not a big deal....
