Capcom delayed Street Fighter IV on PC because of piracy madness = FAIL
While the PS3 and Xbox 360 gamers were enjoying the long awaited release of Street Fighter IV, the PC gaming community fell victim to Capcom’s anti-piracy strategy. Capcom believes they can reduce piracy on the PC by releasing the PC version of the game months after the console. This policy has failed as it would seem.
Read on here...
Entering “Street Fighter IV” into a torrent search engine results in numerous images of the 360’s Street Fighter IV disc with thousands of downloads already completed. To add insult to injury, some of these copies went up online before the game's launch date! Even though the anti-piracy tactic has failed, it seems like PC gamers must endure the wait a little while longer. If Best Buy's Pre Order page is correct that wait ends May 15th. For Capcom's sake they better hope that the hype of the game lasts till that point. I for one am interested. I wonder if they high piracy rate of the XBox 360 version of the game will result in a change in Capcom's policy on piracy? It should be obvious to them now that their piracy concerns should extend beyond the PC versions of their games.
Beyond all the piracy the game seem to be selling very well. On the first day of its release it was sold out in Japan. In the USA the Collectors edition of the game was sold out day one at most online and physical retail locations along with the Street Fighter branded Arcade Sticks from Mad Catz.
Despite the delay I am still eagerly awaiting the release of this game for the PC. I have my Thrustmaster T-Mini Rumble Force gamepad in hand and ready to let the fight begin.

I think piracy is rerally
I think piracy is rerally killing such wonderful games but still there is no corrective strong measure is taken against it to remove it and also the piracy is killing the best games like cap com.regards:
i'm disappointed i've been
i'm disappointed i've been waiting for this game coz now i'm free from my certification exams and have all the time in the world
Finally Street on Streets
i was waiting for Street Fighter IV but due to some reasons it was not released, lots of PS3 and Xbox 360 gamers were enjoying the long awaited release of Street Fighter IV. the problem was that some CD were already released on internet before the game launch. i was waiting it to play after my certification exams and all of my friends who are doing certification waiting for Street fight and finally they got from some where the final version and now enjoying, being a PC games it see lots of hurdles and now every thing is clear and things are smooth i would love to buy one after my certification exams and i think it will be amazing game as i have been played lots other.
Where can I download Street
Where can I download Street Fighter IV ? Any demo version ?
no demo
Street Fighter IV is not out yet for the PC. The date was pushed back later than Best Buy originally posted. If you have a console, browse around the PSN or 360 stores and see if they have any demos for it there, but I do not think the consoles had a demo either.
The release date for the PC version is sometime this July.
Bah, just gonna have to sit
Bah, just gonna have to sit and wait.
Well, I'd rather wait two
Well, I'd rather wait two more months than not having the game on pc. Plus, Capcom's use of DRM in Pc games is quite light. Therefore, I support capcom's pc games policy, even though it's not perfect.
PC v Console release is like...
Dangling really good drugs a mile away (PC) and dangling halfway decent drugs at arms length (console). Any crackhead would grab whatever is at arms length.
OK
I support their light use of DRM, but making gamers wait for no reason is not good for sales anyway you look at it. You are giving them time to forget about your product if another great game comes out along the way. I still will be buying this one though. My controller is waiting and ready for its release.
Does this mean the PC version
Does this mean the PC version has been completed this entire time? And they've just been holding it back?
I would say yes.
Simply because the game (like all games) was developed on a PC. When you add the numerous times devs clame the ease of porting a PC title to the Xbox 360 (and vise versa), its highly likely the PC version was complete for quite some time. Why console first?
PC games are more up to speed with digital distribution and retailers HATE that. Seen the PC section of Gamestop lately? My local Gamestop stores removed them. Retail re-sellers order a ton of new copies and can resell the used copies of console titles. PC games have no re-sale value and consequently useless.Politics -
Retailers can sink or sale a game company. Example. When Warhawk was released on the PS3, Gamestop did not like the fact that Sony sold the game on PSN day and date of launch so they ordered a ton of hard copies of the game then trickles a few to the stores thereby reducing or squelching and hype for the game and at the same time writing a huge RMA for the warehouse stock of Warhawk. This puts Sony between a rock and a hard place. If they take the RMA, they lose a lot of money. If they refuse the RMA they jeopardize their relationship and strengthen Gamestop's brand loyalty to Microsoft and Nintendo. Sony decided to refuse the RMA but offered to refund some of the moneys for the order and give the shipment back to Gamestop. To further make its point, Gamestop halted orders of PS3s for about 4 months.The game called retail -
Given that GTA4 was a sloppy mess on the PC, we can probably assume SF4 will suffer the same fate.Buggy -
As I think Marc mentioned before, retailers will milk the console market first. When the market is dry, then they will introduce the the PC version of the title.
Not so sure
I am not so sure the fate of Street Fighter IV will be the same as GTA IV.
It seems as though Capcom has a better grasp on console ports these days than they used. A perfect example would be Devil May Cry 4(sure are a lot of 4s in this response). I own DMC 4 for the PC and it is a good port as far as stability and quality is conserned.
true
Lost Planet, Dead Rising, and DMC4 were all fairly smooth releases but very oddly the pc port of Lost Planet was worse then the xbox version. And the ps3 version was ported by like... high school internes. Pure poo poo.
Dmc4 was a symotanious release if I am not mistaken.
Releases
DMC4 came out for the PS3 and 360 in February of 2008 while the PC version came out in June of 2008.
Their release policy that they are now applying to Street Fighter IV had applied to Devil May Cry 4 as well.
Yes and no
From what I have read the arcade versions of the game were running on PC like hardware already. Keeping that in mind the game was already on its way to being prepared for the PC. Since they plan on releasing the game later, they probably did not put as much effort into having the game ready for launch with the 360 and PS3 versions. There is no confirmation on if it is done at this very moment, but considering they have all the assets already done and the engine running on PC like hardware it most likely is done or close to done at this point.
