Street Fighter 6's Awesome New Outfits Are Out Now, But Fans Are Fuming at the Prices | Push Square
pushsquare.comThe third set of threads for Street Fighter 6’s launch roster is available in-game now – but unsurprisingly, the Internet’s already up in arms over the pricing. A single outfit will set you back 300 Fighter Coins, but you can only purchase denominations of 250 Fighter Coins (£3.99/$4.99) or 610 Fighter Coins (£9.49/$11.99). This means, whichever approach you take, you’ll always have some currency leftover.

It also means that in order to buy all the costumes, you’ll be looking at an investment of around £80/$100, although again, you’ll have a number of Fighter Coins leftover. Obviously, this is a pretty hefty chunk of money – especially with no discounts or bundles available right now. When you consider the main game retails for £54.99/$59.99, and includes two outfits for all of the launch characters, this does seem a little extortionate.
Of course, Capcom has put a lot of work into these threads and does deserve to get paid for designing them, but personally we’ll be waiting for some kind of discounted bundle before we consider splashing out on them. What are your thoughts on this pricing model? Are the costumes simply too expensive? Dress up in the comments section below.

I’m SOOOOO sick of this *****!!
Consumers do it to themselves, unfortunately. The fact any microtransaction costs more than a dollar or two is egregious enough, but companies feel like they can charge $20 for Fortnite and Call of Duty skins because there are idiots out there who would pay that.
Nah, Street Fighter 6 is a fantastic game but this bullsh*t
