So basically they mean "our free to play game costs 40$".
Might as well sell it as a complete game from the start

It's more or less the opposite. "Our $40 game has a free to play option." It's just that they're pushing the F2P too hard

the game's f2p mode is basically a demo. the problem is that they're marketing it as F2P, which really hurts their image. you can buy all the content for the lower-than-average price of 40 bucks, or spend like 7 dollars and only pick up a few characters.
it's a good business model and i hope to see more of it. gamers always complain about how they have to spend 60 bucks on a game that won't last that long, so why not give them the option to spend only a few dollars and get a small portion of the game for cheap? that way the player won't dish out 60 for something he won't fully enjoy, and the devs get compensated.

Because it would be a small portion of a small portion? This kind of game is the only place the model would really work.

yeah, that's why it's the best place to test this kind of business model. it might work with MOBAs, too.
I don't know what other people think but it doesn't sound like the f2p model fits with a fighting game at all.

It sucks, Injustice on iOS is F2P, with only like 3 characters unlocked without heavy amounts of grinding/ and or purchases.
