this shitpost reminded me that one of the worst things to happen to fighting games in the last decade is the idea that "dev support" is necessary for a game to be worth playing and/or encouraging others to play.
look, I promise you that your favorite fighting game still has the potential to provide unlimited enjoyment even if it doesn't have half a dozen DLC characters on the horizon. your favorite fighting game does not have an allotted number of hours of fun that will run out unless there is a steady stream of new content for it. a fundamental reason fighting games are great is because they do not work this way.
linking your enthusiasm for something to corporate stewardship is a fast track to misery. finding cool people to play your favorite fighting games with will bring you more happiness than any "dev support" (whatever the hell that even means) ever could.
