Street Fighter V recently released an update that introduces advertisements to the fighting game`s loading screens, player models, and stages. While the advertisements can be toggled off, the introduction of ads in the first place went over just as well as you`d expect.Now, Street Fighter executive producer Yoshinori Ono has responded. In a statement posted Sunday evening, Ono thanked fans for their feedback, adding that Capcom will continue to consider this feedback to think about how it may `improve` the sponsored content feature in the future. Advertisements in Street Fighter V seem like they are here to stay.pic.twitter.com/DnDJqCshFB - Street Fighter (@StreetFighter) December 17, 2018`We value and thank our community for providing feedback on the new sponsored content feature added to Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition this week,` Ono said. `We will continue collecting everyone`s feedback to consider how we can improve this new feature for players in the future.`Advertisements came to Street Fighter V in an update released on December 11. Some people immediately criticised the move, and made silly mock-up images of new skins for brands like McDonald`s and Mtn Dew. Right now, the ads in Street Fighter V are for things like the Capcom Pro Tour series and extra content sales for the game. Players who view the ads earn extra Fight Money (the game`s currency) from Ranked and Casual matches, but the sponsored content, as Capcom calls it, can be toggled off for those who don`t want to see it.In other Street Fighter V news, Capcom just today launched a new character, Kage, and introduced a big new balance patch.
