It speaks volumes that they were literally so greedy and lazy that they couldn't be bothered to remove these characters from the disc before shipping to stores. Had they done so, and kept quiet about it, they could have released them as DLC a month or two down the line and no-one would have been any the wiser.
That, along with the snotty, self-entitled response to being hacked, shows just how little respect they have for us as both players and consumers. Good on the hackers; whether or not people should be hacking discs for free content is an entirely different issue from exposing Capcom and calling them out on their bullshit, for which the hackers should be applauded.

I believe this is just a massive "told you so" to the company about having it on disc.
Of course, this will all bite you in the ass later when they make it download only (the content is STILL complete, but it's not on the disc) and the download is huge...
And of course naturally yall will blame them for forcing you to wait an hour to get your new characters.
BECAUSE OF COURSE GAMERS KNOW BEST
DDDD

nope, i personally have zero sympathy for this guys whining. there's no reason to have on disk DLC like this, none.LiquidSolstice said:
this guy wants to piss and moan some people aren't willing to put up with bull shit tactics like this, that's fine, he can do some where else. cause I'm a just laugh at him
To be fair, it's not exactly out of the question that a broken character shows up in a finished Capcom fighting game, especially a vanilla release.Scow2 said:
Maybe I should clarify what I meant about DLC because certain people are being complete fucking tools about it and twisting what I've said.
I'm not whining. I don't give a shit about the current DRM. I don't give a shit about whether or not it's right to have on-disk DLC.
The fact of the matter is that the more you hear stories of hacks and modifications like these, regardless of the real reasoning for DRM (whether it's meant to curb piracy or prevent second-hand sales or stop cancer from spreading), the more DRM publishers will add.
This sort of "aw hellz yeah freedom fighters" attitude that you all seem to have about the people that do this? It'll vanish as publishers and developers respond to it in the only way they know; add more DRM. This is exactly like how Anonymous with all their bravado and good intentions are going to be the reason why the internet is going to get even more shuttered and censored; people react to any breach with overkill.
Cheer them on now, but later on down the line when always-online DRM and multiple license keys become commonplace, and you're done screaming hoarse at the devs and publishers, maybe then, these people won't seem like such heroes to you.

So true. In reality he's only dissapointed that he didn't profit from those players.squid5580 said:
At this point the only thing CC might get my money from on this release is the DLC. I sure as hell won't be buying this new. I don't mind the idea of updating the roster/re-balance but if some or all of the characters are finished why not release those now and work on some new content for later.
How could this guy be surprised by the skill of these guys? This sort of thing happens all the time.
No.Scow2 said:
No...no that's known as wrong.
You do not own the content on the disc. What you buy is the license to access what is on the disc. If you owned the content on the disc then you would be able to copy and redistribute it for financial gain, because you would own the content. What you said about the ownership of the system on which it is played makes no sense at all.
I'd like it to make sense, but it doesn't.
Read it again.FieryTrainwreck said:
Capcom has been getting a shittonne of bad fan feedback for their constant, mostly arbitrary updates. Like......UMvC3, for example.
There was, despite jokes, never a planned version of Super SFxT - instead that was to be replaced by this DLC scheme.
I mean.....it was an ok plan.
Until they put the nearly finished characters and costumes on the disc.
Which was fucking retarded.

We're not allowed to mention that recently released game on here....
You mean Disk Locked Content or "DLC"? Tee Hee...Xanthious said:
OT- I normally don't take the hacker's side but locking finished content on the disk should be illegal. Serves Capcom right and I would not be hurt if this particular thing started to happen more and more.
How about simply either offering the DLC from Day 1, since it obviously is already playable or, you know, simply offering them for free to begin with? I still remember when additional characters and costume were unlockables, not DLC. DoA2 managed to have up to 8 unique costumes per character, all of them unlockable through gameplay.Grey Carter said:
I wouldn't buy the Vita versio neither, but thats because i find fighting games on portables to be silly. You require at least 2 portables and 2 versions of the game to play them, and when do you find someone who just happens to have both?
