With the recent announcement that Street Fighter X Tekken will not be featured as a main game at Evolution 2013, some fans have jumped onto the Ask Capcom forums to see what Capcom thinks about the situation.
Capcom-Unity, member Charles (The Insane One), posted a thread asking if it is time to retire Street Fighter X Tekken. Capcom's Christian Svensson jumped in to address this question, by quoting another user DarthEnderX.
How does Capcom "retire" a game? They've already released the game. And they aren't going to cancel DLC that they already made.
Capcom doesn't decide when people have to stop playing the game, so in what sense does Capcom have any ability to retire a game? - DarthEnderX
This is almost exactly what I was going to post. I'm not sure what is being requested.
If you are asking us to stop post ongoing support, the people who do still play the game probably wouldn't be to pleased if we did that. And there's nothing we are doing with sfxt that impacts other project resources at this time. - Svensson
In another thread, user Final_Fight_Forever was wondering if Capcom would reconsider giving Street Fighter X Tekken a no gem mode. Capcom doesn't decide when people have to stop playing the game, so in what sense does Capcom have any ability to retire a game? - DarthEnderX

Still no plans at this time for that. Sorry. - Svensson
