It's a smart business model in the long run. You can release the stuff that should have been there day one and market them as FREE updates down the road (you can already see SFV defenders using this) and also throw in some F2P mechanics to give people the illusion of choice on future characters, when in reality only people with tons of time to grind will earn enough funny money to unlock things without paying real money.
But the game is online only, you cant even earn funny money unless you're connected (unless they fixed this) so those who don't connect will be forever alone with a half assed launch version.
