Did anyone honestly like that SF2 had a million barely changed incarnations?
Not to mention they were almost entirely arcade-bound, and no one bought the arcade machine. You just went in and played on the machine they had. For an arcade, a new set of stuff isn't bad for the consumer because they didn't literally pay for the initial game or any of the subsequent versions. The arcade owners probably either liked it because a new one would bring in more business (because your version's more updated than your competition's) or they disliked it because they'd have to buy entire new machines to be up to date on the same game and community.
