EA isn't good example of how to be a profitable 3rd party developer. Granted I'm not fan of everything Capcom does, on disk DLC and Hilary Swank Dante come to mind, but EA sells way too much software to continually post the quarterly losses that they do.

Well I'll use Capcom as an example against themselves, they updated RE5 longer than these SSFIV updates and left people the data in the madatory update with new costumes just being unlocks when purchased.  There are many examples.

Did these updates occur before or after Sony started charging bandwidth fees?

Well with just updates, I don't really get the big deal.  If you have a 25 mb update that has to download to 3 million consoles and makes all the gamers happier, you have a cost of $12,000 (based off the 16 cents per GB amount I just saw).  Is $12,000 really that much that a publisher won't continue updating a game? 

I'll bring up the case of Bethesda.  Are they really not updating because of the costs associated with doing so?  There are already a couple of their games that I haven't bought because I want nothing to do with just dealing with bugs that shouldn't be that hard to fix.  They wouldn't even have to sell that many more copies to recoup the costs of updating the game.
