Capcom Adjusts Street Fighter V Community Licensing Agreement After Backlash

gamespot.com:

Capcom has modified its recently released Street Fighter V Community License Agreement--a no-cost license for using SFV at local tournaments--after the original version received criticism by the fighting game community for negatively affecting smaller tournament organizers.

Capcom released a statement via Twitter regarding the changes, saying that «we acknowledge that we could have handled the situation better» and that organizers are a «highly valued part of the Street Fighter community.»

Among the biggest changes from the original February version of the agreement are:

Tournaments that exceed these limits can apply for the full esports license--but that option does require a fee.

Street Fighter V will feature heavily in this year's competitive fighting game circuit, as it's been announced as a main stage game for Evo 2022, Combo Breaker 2022, and more. This will likely be the final year of SFV being featured, however, as Street Fighter 6 was announced earlier this year.
