Something Ive been thinking about recently.. Maybe this is just a recent trend with fighting games being so popular, but why arent companies taking some of the profit to support their games? MK9 sold 900k copies in the first month, how much is that when you times it by how much it cost when it first came out? (45,000,000 if you use $50) Of course NRS or to whom it may concern did not see all of that, but are you telling me in that 45,000,000, they couldnt take 1,000,000 and use it to support their game through tournaments? Im not sure about the logistics and Im sure someone will inform me but if that is not a feasible idea, why not sell a Tournament Edition of the game which directly funds competitive play? With $1,000,000 they could (at minimum) fund 2 tournaments a year for 3 years and payout something like..
20,000
10,000
6,000
5,000
4,000
3,000
2,000
For a top 8. This could be a selling point when purchasing fighting games. If companies took more interest in their games I think fighting games would take off and be making the kind of money they should be.
Ideas, thoughts, suggestions, rants&raves?
EDIT: Not a slant aimed at NRS/WB as I know they actually donated to some tournaments winnings. Just a thought aimed at the FGC and companies in general
