[QUOTE="Admin, post: 61571, member: 1"] While [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/street-fighter-6']Street Fighter 6[/URL] is a hit with fans of Capcom’s famous fighting game series, its monetisation has caused an uproar. The latest offender is the hotly anticipated Outfit 3 release, which gives each of the 18 launch characters an eye-catching new costume to wear. Each Outfit 3 is available for 300 Fighter Coins (Street Fighter 6’s premium currency) and includes all 10 available colours. Unlike Outfit 2, Outfit 3 is only available for purchase with real-world money and cannot be unlocked via World Tour mode. The problem here is that Capcom only sells Fighter Coins in bundles of 250 for £3.99 / $4.99, 610 for £9.49 / $11.99, 1,250 for £18.99 / $23.99, and 2,750 for £39.99 / $49.99. This means there’s no way to buy 300 Fighter Coins, or spend around $6, on one Outfit 3. You have to spend around $10 or more, depending on the bundle you go for. Perhaps worse, Capcom is not selling an Outfit 3 bundle that includes some or all the costumes at a discounted price. That means if you want to buy all Outfit 3 costumes for all 18 launch characters, you’ll need 5,400 Fighter Coins, which will set you back an eye-watering £80 / $100 (2,750 Fighter Coins x 2).
