No doubt they'll also bring their always-online DRM as well. Since, you know, its totally not hurting any paying customers on PSN right now.

/practically dripping sarcasm
What game are you talking about here? I just tried DMC 4 and the only thing it wouldn't let me access are the leaderboards as if anyone cares about them.

Yes they're small PSN games, but I don't care. Yes the pirates knocked out PSN and screwed with lots of people. They're criminals, its what they do.

But whats Capcom's excuse for putting in DRM that locks out paying customers?

The port of Resi Evil IV was shocking. On the Gamecube it was a brilliant, genre-defining game that spawned many imitators (good and bad) like Dead Space for one. The PC port was one of the worst, with people popping in and out of nowhere, horrid controls, QTEs that quite simply don't work well on PC at all and the menu/save system wasn't adapted for a mouse at all.

Saying that, this news can only be a good thing. PC gaming is a great thing and I don't believe it's a "small" thing by any stretch. Perhaps the reason console games outsell PC titles are because games are being designed for them primarily. With hard drive space, RAM, processor speeds and graphics power better than 10 360s combined, it's tragic that few developers are Pushing the boundaries and instead limit themselves to working with only what was possible 4 years ago.

Capcom saying they have an interest in the PC games market is brilliant news. I for one will look forward to their efforts. They make fantastic games so perhaps the can work their magic on the most advanced system available. The next big PC exclusive to look forward to is The Witcher II, hope that will last till Capcom throw something on the table :)

But we'll still make sure to rob as many gamers as possible!

I'm not the biggest fan of Capcom.
