I said creating a balance patch was not a small step from creating an expansion from an effort standpoint, and was, in fact, a very big step.
Citation needed. Your previous posts before the one I quoted were the following.

As I mentioned in the Evo topic, I don't buy it.
I wouldn't be shocked if it were true, but I'm skeptical of his story, and I'd like to think Capcom isn't going to Street Fighter IV this thing.

From: PartOfYourWorld | #009It already has, pretty much. Both MvC3 and SFIV have received one huge, retail-only expansion. SSFIV Arcade Edition was available for download for SSFIV owners for $15, so it's not nearly as bad as plunking down another $40 at the store.
That's what I had in mind. This rumor is that it'd be a $15 download for UMvC3 owners, so it'd be an exact repeat of what happened there.
Which, by the way, is part of why I doubt this. It seems too much like what happened with Street Fighter IV. Downloadable rebalance/expansion with four new characters. Unless this is their new business strategy.

People sure like tossing around that "toxic fanbase" stuff to dismiss complaints against companies they like lately.
No mention of it being 'a very big step' anywhere in these posts. If I missed one, please let me know.
