NowGamer - Not all that long ago, the very idea that a game based on a fairly high-profile Hollywood movie and developed by one of the most familiar names in fighters could launch at less than a tenner and would have been laughed out of town in a heartbeat.
Licensed dross like Street Fighter: The Movie, Enter The Matrix and Eragon have long commanded full price, so it’s refreshing to see a game that understands its limits and charges based on content and quality rather than what it thinks it can get away with.

"While the movie “Real Steel” may not have been all that great, it certainly has made for a pretty good premise for a video game. After all, people would much rather control fighting Rock‘em Sock‘em robots than actually watch Hugh Jackman control one. The first Real Steel game enjoyed over 10 million downloads on the App Store, but what about its follow up, Real Steel: World Robot Boxing?"

The ultimate reason is both shocking and disgusting.
From the article:
"Real Steel is, believe it or not, one of the top 10 best selling games on XBox Live Arcade. Considering the prevalence of the DLC, and the number of people playing, it’s a safe bet that Real Steel has become a surprisingly steady source of income for Yukes."
So a company is continuing to update and support a popular title.
... and the problem is what exactly?
