4Gamer.net interviews Street Fighter series producer Yoshinori Ono in the site's native Japanese on the upcoming release of
Super Street Fighter IV. Though Ono-san
recently indicated they are still considering a PC edition of the upgraded fighting game, his answers now indicate severe doubts about a PC release. A Google translation of the interview is headache-inducing, but
andriasang.com offers a more sensible interpretation of his comments, which say the PC edition will probably not be released due to piracy, in spite of the fact that a PC edition is basically complete, since that is the version found in arcades. He does say they will reconsider if they can come up with a proper way to combat illegal copies, though he rules out an exclusive release through
Steam because that would be unfair to those unable to use the service. Thanks joao.

So while you may not think there is a large niche for it because fighting games don't "sell" well on the PC. You have to remember that Mugen is the major reason why. Doesn't mean people don't play them, just means they don't buy them. Subjective at best but let's pretend you're correct, that just solidifies the Capcom decision. Oh I wasn't trying to say Capcoms decision was wrong at all. Mostly just wanted to point out there is an abundance of players who do play fighting games on the PC, just that none of them will ever pay for a fighting game on the PC. I can totally understand why they would make such a decision considering Mugen is out there. How are you going to sell a product in a market were everyone is already using your characters for free to play how they want. |
