No Super Streetfighter IV for PC due to piracy

Piracy allowed me to play rFactor with my friends at a lan when I owned the game already.
It had "activation limits" and god knows how many systems upgrades/HD crashes or uninstalls I've had since but it took them, ready?

Two weeks to get back to me with new keys.
So at the lan, I used the pirated version, who loses out? Nobody, who wins? Me.

(By rFactor I could mean Live for Speed, it was one of the two/ )

Also before someone says the game states(stated on the buy page) ""Unlimited usage - you own the game".
I guess this could mean anything now :(

I can't believe people still use this ****e excuse for pirating - "oh I wouldn't have bought it anyway but I'm more than happy to pirate it'
lmao....please open your eyes.

With a comment like that I'm not surprised at all that they're not releasing it.

Ugh *cringe*.

Did you even read the *excuse* for why they're not bringing it to PC?

Either way, if they make crap games and no one buys them, who's that down to? If a game is good, I'll buy it, I don't understand where your anger comes from. Do you some how think they deserve paying for their games that are rubbish, while not providing a demo, or a demo that is representative of the actual game? Is it your fault that you spend £20-30 on a game, that you realise is rubbish, but there's nothing you can do about getting your money back?

I think you need to open your eyes yourself, these companies aren't in it to make everything nice and fluffy for you, they don't play by the rules, they think second hand games are piracy (piracy isn't not the same as stealing :rolleyes: that's why there are two different words to describe them), they try to exploit their customers by releasing rehased games on a regular basis, they think it's okay take content out of a game and later release it as "ALL NEW DLC", it gives genuine DLC a bad name, and is just ridiculous.

There has *always* been piracy. The games (movies and music too) industry is at an all time high, piracy is not causing the decline of anything, this is just an excuse they use now to levy more control over their games (such as charging to "unlock" content for second-hand users).

Since the beginning of games, there has been piracy, let's not pretend it "ruins" games. If anything, it makes the industry better, if there wasn't piracy there'd be a lot more crappy games out there for one. If a game is crap, it'll probably sell badly and get pirated, if a game is good, it'll sell very well and still get pirated, beyond that, you don't know what happens, a lot of those sales could be down to the fact that people pirated it.
 
Maybe I am wrong but when he talks about piracy being a problem on the PC, he might be talking about in other countries such as China and Russia. In both those places, piracy is huge.

I remember when playing Counter-Strike, hearing about a tournament being held in China for a qualifying event running into huge problems as they asked users to login to steam with their own account details but barely any of them had a legitimate steam user i.ds, as they all played on pirate copies of the game.

So although piracy in say UK/US might not have a huge affect on sales in other countries it will.

You might aswell ask the rain to fall up. Seriously will people stop with these retarded statements. YOU CANNOT CHANGE HUMAN NATURE! Jesus if you want to stop piracy wipe out the human race, its the only way it'll end.

So what your saying AWPC... is not that GFWL has made the game uncrackable, they've just made it uncrackable... until the game is released officially? What does that achieve? On any level?

Thing is though that link says they haven't "officially ruled it out". Whats more funny is how all the comments on the link were basically saying its an excuse too. Think he was expecting an outcry that hasn't come?

when was this?


Aside from things like peggle the only good thing i can remember people mentioning is they started doing proper ports instead of horrible ones like they used to.

Peggle is made by Popcap, not Capcom. ;)

But it's the ports that is why people loved them. They actually do a great job of them unlike most companies.

it's hardly a loss.
 
Except you don't do anything to get round them someone else does.

You may have some kind of point if you yourself made cracks but you don't.
