Many editions of the Street Fighter games have one more specific purpose - the company sells old games for new devices. Ultimate and then offer players paid characters and stages. Nintendo has a bit different approach - they sell only one edition of Super Smash Bros. For example, you can purchase the basic Tekken 7 game or pay for Tekken 7 - Ultimate Edition and get fighters and stages of all the game Seasons. That’s why, the developers sell new editions as a (more expensive) game or offer a chance to upgrade the previous edition. Addition of those features to the basic product is a release of a new edition (in the terms of Capcom game development).Ĭreating new content is also a very costly process. The business purposes often push the development teams to release a game in its basic condition - totally playable but without many extra features. Also, the release date of such popular franchises as Street Fighter is often connected to partnerships with other companies and busy schedules of esports events.

Big companies are ready to make such investments, but they want to get revenue as soon as possible. Releasing games is a very costly process. Let’s put the community-friendly aspects of game development aside and talk about the business part of this industry.
