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

      Added them to old games that didn’t have them before? What would be the point in that? Once it’s cracked, the toothpaste can’t be put back in the tube.

        I think steam support does offer refunds in those instances where the terms of sale were changed on you when mentioned in a ticket (see Helldivers and newer COD games)

      The fact that it’s on Steam is a no go for me, unfortunately.

    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.

      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

      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.
