    The fact they went back and added Denuvo to old games. Makes them a No Buy for me. Clearly cant be trusted.

    I remember hearing this about the Monster Hunter games a few years ago, so it isn’t surprising to hear it holds true for their other franchises, as well. That said, it would be nice if they focused a bit more resources on optimizing the games for their new primary platform.

    I was curious about street fighter games again, then I saw the price tag… and the 90% discounts whenever they apply them…

    I’d never ever buy a game that offers 50-90% discounts. I assume it’s a nothing more then a cashgrab

    bye Capcom… you were fun in the past, and that’s where you shall stay.

      Lol ok. That’s some dumb reasoning not to play a good game. I guess you never play anything old, and prefer to get ripped off? And when you finally can get the games at a good value, you snub your nose, assuming something has to be wrong with it to be that cheap? You’re doing a ton of mental gymnastics for no reason.

      Publishers often give steep discounts on the older games in a property to generate hype and sales before a new entry is released.

      I never played dead rising when it originally came out. I picked up the first one for 95% off when the remake came out. It ended up being one of my favorite games. If I used your logic, I’d overspend on everything, and I’d never find games I missed like that.

        I play old games because I already own them… I don’t buy remade remakes of the remastered edition at 90% off.

      What’s the age of the game? 75-90% discounts on steam aren’t uncommon for games more than 5-10 years old.

        Yeah it’s veeeery flawed logic for steam. Most people don’t buy games unless they’re on sale, and the only way to make the sales attractive over a long time is to keep raising the discount
