Destructoid associate editor Topher Cantler recently put out a very thought-provoking article with regards to alot of the undue negativity surrounding SSF4 and the way Capcom plans to distribute it. I wanted to share it with the SRK community so that we could use it as a reference and wouldn’t have to keep wasting our breath on people who insist that "it should have been free DLC :crybaby:"

Here are just a couple of my favorite snippets from the article…
“The point is, if you bought SFIV in February, you’ll probably have gotten a lot more than sixty bucks’ worth of fun out of it by next Spring. When a whole year of awesome gameplay for the same money you spent on Mirror’s Edge or Assassin’s Creed still leaves you feeling ripped off, I don’t know what to tell you. Maybe you should have spent that cash on a Fleshlight. Or better yet, a visit from one of those “assisted suicide” doctors, so you can end the painful misery of knowing that nothing will ever be good enough for you.”

“Maybe you missed the last few paragraphs, but in case you haven’t heard, there’s a lot of stuff being changed, retuned, updated and expanded, and at least eight new characters being added. For one, that would be a bigass download for people who don’t have a lot of space left on their hard drive. Secondly, you’re talking about tinkering with a huge portion of the game’s code, and that’s a Pandora’s box full of potential for fuckuppery.”
**------------------------------------------------------------------------------**
“Consider the possibility that you may very well be stupid. I’m not trying to insult you, I say this out of genuine concern. If you actually believe Super Street Fighter IV should be given to you for free, you might be a certifiable idiot, and should probably stop reading now so you can go see a doctor.”
Hope you guys enjoy it as much as I did!

**EDIT: Some of you guys who are saying the article was unnecessary because nobody is complaining would definately be suprised. Just go ahead and check out some of the comments on the article or on Eventhubs. People are honestly saying that Capcom is “milking us” and it boggles my fucking mind. Really. **
