If this is a fighter with pretty meh sales, you pretty much just made the case for the ads.  In other words, Capcom is looking for ways to keep the budget going for the game and this is one of them.  I personally do not have a problem if I can turn them off.  As I remember, the game wasn't even going to be made unless Sony put in some funding.  If the money isn't coming in from DLC then other means are going to be required to keep the game coming.

I never believed this to be the case. Between 2014 and 2015 they had released three Monster Hunter games for the 3DS, all of them selling more than 4 million copies each. Plus Dead Rising 3 and a bunch of cheap re-releases. They were not lacking money, especially not for their biggest IP. They released SFV in 2016. Either this game took too much money to make (which would be Capcom's fault in the end) or they just fed us that lie to keep the exclusivity deal with Sony (which, once again, Capcom's fault).

You are confusing other games success with Street Fighter.  Those other games do not determine if any other games get funding instead those other games will continue to be made because they are successful.  If Sony had to come to the rescue for street fighter then its evident that capcom did not see the series as a success or not successful enough to continue funding new versions.  I believe gamers forget that creating games is a business and if a product is not performing up to par then usually it get cut or put on hiatus.
