Capcom Surprises Fans with Paid Street Fighter 6 Championship Finals
Capcom surprised players worldwide by announcing that they will have to pay to watch the finals of the Street Fighter 6 championship, a move that even caught the game director off guard.
Takayuki Nakayama apologized for any inconvenience this may cause, but the truth is that Capcom is asking for approximately 20 euros to attend the Capcom Cup 12 Finals and SFL World Championship, or about 30 euros for both events.
This decision sparked a lot of criticism within the community, with many finding it hard to believe that the development team was unaware of this. Despite how strange it may seem, Nakayama assures that it can happen and it did.
Controversy and Community Reaction
On the social network X, he commented that revenue targets and tasks vary greatly between departments, so even the team working on the game development was taken by surprise by the announcement.
Some comments point out that last year, Capcom asked Japanese fans to pay to watch the Japanese events at home, but only now decided to charge fans from the rest of the globe.
