What's the reason they keep making a genre that nobody asks and when play?

>90s gameplay (2d shit)
>no skills needed
>whoever presses buttons the fastest wins
>lots of dlc

Tell me why they are wasting money for this shit?

It's a niche but very engaged community that is willing to spend money to play these types of games.

Minorities like them (aka the FGC) and are good places to teach new devs how to work like in the RE Engine.

I don't mean this game only.

Like tekken, soul calibur, darkstalkers, samurai showdown etc.

Why make games where no one plays?

You did not ask why these games are good or why consumers should buy them.
You asked why companies make them.
Cause there is an audience, evidently

Glorified rock-paper-scissors that gives you lot of dopamine while making you think you are getting better at guessing.
