@broggiedoge Love the idea of game franchise bartering, I'll work on making amends for SF.

Now of course what Spencer means by “making amends” forStreet Fighter Vis anybody’s guess. One tweet indicated that Spencer would rather double down on Microsoft’s own fighting game franchise,Killer Instinct.
@CapitanoCasellaBusiness deals happen. We won't do all of them. When we have a 1st party franchise in a genre I'd rather invest in ours.

Of course, I don’t think heavily investing inKiller Instinctwould be very satisfactory for anybody who wantsStreet Fighter V. Arguably Microsoft with their massive financial resources, could lock up a top competing fighting series likeMortal Kombat, even if it was just a timed exclusive. Honestly more likely is that they’ll just pay Capcom whatever to makeSuper Street Fighter V Alphaof whatever and have that be the Xbox one version will some exclusive content (like maybe even a couple fighters from Killer Instinct). We’ll just have to wait and see what exactly Spencer means by “making amends:.
