@karin2049au: It's not just Capcom alot of games do that just look at Final Fantasy XV, it is getting a Royal Edition which will cost $49.99 and the update is not even free they charge $19.99 for the upgrade.
@IanNottinghamX: I don't think so, Before launch they said you would only need one copy of Street Fighter V, they aren't charging any money the people who already own the game, and new buyers get all the season 1 and 2 characters.
@nefphlegm: Season 1 and 2 characters are bundled with the arcade edition for new buyers, the people who already own the game will get all gameplay related content. That does not include characters.
