It's like if you were a cashier, and getting a raise meant you have an ad play on your register POS when ringing up a customer, but you can opt-out of your raise. Obviously the stakes are lower, but that's the shape of the model.
According to the Japanese CFN FM earned from extra battles is being reduced. Could be a typo so I'll refrain from saying I told you so for now.
However, these notes do not specify how Capcom have rebalanced Extra Battle in regards to the Shadaloo Soldiers or Crossover Costume pieces. You can view the full patch notes below.
Tuesday’s patch for Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition is set to add some balance changes to the game’s Extra Battle mode — according to the official Shadaloo CRI page. Capcom claims that they’ve analyzed the data from some of the fights in Extra Battle, and will be adjusting the difficulty and replayability of some of the missions going forward.
What exactly they’ll be adjusting has not been stated as of this time, however. That said, this could mean that some missions which feature opponents that give out large sums of fight money, while being easily beaten with certain special moves might be getting adjusted (Flash-Kicking Golden Shadaloo Soldiers to death, for example).
MH is a more casual game that appeal to a lot bigger audience than a competitive fighting game like SFV.(Looks at Monster Hunter World)
Okay, so there's that. But that's it.

I wonder if they are actually reducing the FM for these battles, or doing some other sort of "rebalancing"
The claim from the Japanese cfn is that attempts are being reduced from 3 to 1.
Whatever else you can imagine that the industry can do is just in your head.Do you not see the slippery slope here? Have you not learned from DLC, MTX's, and Lootboxes? Do you trust the game industry to keep the ads non exploitative? Do you think they don't have long term goals here and do you not see that this is their foot in the door?
This money helps them to support the game for a longer period of time. First, paying the servers and related maintenance, and not shutting them down. And second, paying extra development of additional features, content, fixes, tweaks, gameplay rebalance and so on.See, this is the problem. Only gaming consumers care if huge corporations are making money.
It's the horse armor of ads in games. Some people never learn.Whatever else you can imagine that the industry can do is just in your head.
SFV are not exploitative and are optional, period. If they change them in the future for an exploitative version then we'll complain but right now it doesn't make sense. You can play the game perfectly without ads if you want and doesn't matter: the reward you get for viewing them is small so it doesn't almost affect the game economy.
So it doesn't negatively impact us as of now, while it may generate extra revenue for Capcom that they can reinvest on future new content, features, fixes, gameplay rebalancing and so on.
Some people making non sensical comparisions because they ran out of arguments when throwing shit to SF without any reason, just because trolling SF is "cool". Some people never learn.It's the horse armor of ads in games. Some people never learn.
As of now what they did is to include an additional battle against a character with a Christmas costume every 2 days to earn a ticket during the Christmas season. Seems that they compensate the extra FM you may earn with adds by including additional places (more extra battles at the same time) where you can spend it.I wonder if they are actually reducing the FM for these battles, or doing some other sort of "rebalancing"

Difficulty or reward didn't seem different but who knows, maybe they change it for the upcoming Extra Battles.
People wonder why I dread next generation so much and things are going to get perturbingly worst. I feel like these advertisements in sf5 will be a mosquito bite compared to what the companies have in store for consumers. They are going to see how far they can take these tactics.
how about when your in between rounds restarts are interrupted to bring word from the sponsors ? Is that what you want ?I have no problem with this because I'm good at ignoring ads
Those pics look incredibly stupid.I was really happy to see Street Fighter stage a comeback with IV.
Now I think maybe it can just go away.
These ads aren't even well integrated. They look like stickers plastered randomly onto the characters.

It's not what I want but it's what I will ignore
Like anti-consumer business practices, for example?
How is this anti-consumer when it's optional?
...because it won't remain optional and will become more widespread. You'll still be pretending that it's ok to ignore it then as well.
Trash like this started on the Xbox brand, though.I’m so happy that this trash game is not on Xbox.
Capcom exec: We need more profits from the SF franchise
Capcom dev: We can release Xbox and Switch versions. We already have PS4 and PC. Ports shouldn't be a problem and we can sell millions more copies.
Capcom exec: No. Let's do in-game ads
I wonder why it hasn't gone multiplat yet.
I can't believe you're still here trying to explain this. At this point I don't know if it's patience or you have an OCD XD...because it won't remain optional and will become more widespread. You'll still be pretending that it's ok to ignore it then as well.

It's the future & something that a lot of games will have to do in order to survive in the streaming era.
Soon these games will be part of $10 - $20 a month subscriptions
People don't understand ad based content, yet have endured these revenue generating or cost cutting methods????? lolYeah, some people just never learn. They just seem to believe that the game industry would never exploit ad revenue. Naive.
I think it's commonly accepted that this is the dropping point for a lot of people. I for one want nothing to do with that stupid future and I'll be fine without it. This isn't such an inevitability, if it sucks and enough people reject it then it won't happen.
Edit: I don't even mean streaming here, I mean the reduction of production values and dumbed down design that's created with the sole mission of yanking money out of fools.
Am I missing anything? And somehow ad revenue is a new innovation?
Looking at the above list, there hasn't been one bullet point that came, and went away.
This will actually counter the reduction is production value. If devs are getting money from ads it will push them to keep adding to the games to keep us coming to the game so they can get ad money.
Yes because that's worked so well with websites. Or we'll get the game equivalent of clickbait. Skinner boxes designed to keep us there, eyes on screen, doing nothing much of interest, like we're on twitter or facebook, a pig in a cage on antibiotics.
Rember guys when all we had to worry about was horse armor remember when all the coprate shills were defending look at were we at now and there's still people defending it . Anyways I put my money were my mouth is and stopped buying games with gatcha transactions.
I'm curious to know how many of those staunchly against DLC practices in this thread have abstained from purchasing any themselves in the 12 years since the release of the horse armour DLC.
