Comment on Evo Las Vegas 2025 wrap-up

Did developers really shift away from it though? I feel like season passes and updates brought the concept closer, in fact, by prolonging a game’s life without having to buy the same game three or four times (which is what happened back with Street Fighter 4).

Season passes and updates are what they’re doing now rather than splitting their player base with a new SKU. But of course, that new SKU comes with advantages like being able to freeze the game at a certain point in its life.
