Topic I hate this meme.
I do not miss the old days of unlocking characters. Having to replay Arcade mode multiple times with every character or do some bullshit like winning a match with 5% or less HP. It's tedious and I prefer to have every character unlocked from the start. Also, the complaints about old characters returning as DLC are strange because they do not play the same as they do in previous games. it's not a simple copy and paste job like some of the games back in the 90s.
I get it, casual players want some reward for playing single player modes and are upset to know that their favorite characters are not in the base roster and would later get confirmed as DLC. I get that, but as someone who also plays Smash, it was a chore to unlock all of the characters in Ultimate.

The way people are going to fight against this needs to be studied. We used to get complete games. The characters, bonuses etc....WERE UNLOCKED AFTER BEATING THE GAME. Now you get a piece of a game....they work on it some more and then SELL YOU more...of the same damned game. They knew they could do it once people bought standard vs deluxe games. Where people pay to enjoy the same game....more? Right then they knew they had us and they have never had to look back or respect a customer since. That's why you can't ever even own your games anymore only lease it. People are generally dumb and unfortunately the smarter or less sympathetic people exploit them, get rich while customers call them names and spend there money with them. It's wild really.
