There are rumors circling all around us that the PC version of the DLC has been canceled. Would be quite a disappointment, I really wanted to try out the new characters...

It's not DLC, and they are not releasing the game on PC due to piracy concerns.

they said they won't release it for the PC a while ago.

Cancelled? Super Street Fighter IV for PC was never announced -- people just assumed it was coming  (granted, I was one of them.)

Yeah they said last week or so that they wouldn't release it due to nonsensical and moronic reasons. In other words it's Capcom, and apparently they do not like the idea of making money. That and they're stupid. Oh and they're a Japanese developer which means their concept of game development is defunct and they really don't know what the hell they're doing anyways.

"Mr. Person-San, we should release SSFIV on the PC and make less money than we should for a market that hardly plays plus SFIV was one of the most pirated games of the year!" "Are you fucking retarded? Commit Seppuku" "

Tell it to CAPCOM. We're on your side. But the reason they cited for the lack of port is piracy. "

PC is actually a fairly large market and they made a profit on SFIV. Despite PC's piracy problems, the sheer size of the audience (probably no less than an order of magnitude that of consoles') ensures that most games make a comparable amount of money compared to their console counterparts even if only a small proportion of PC gamers buy it legitimately (Steam alone has over 30 million users and accounts for less than half of total PC game sales). Companies like Valve and Bethesda support the PC audience and happily make large profits from them, larger than that made on consoles even. It's a mystery why more companies don't do the same, except for perhaps the pirating myth that both publishers and gamers alike tend to spread.  "

The information of piracy vs profit seems widely varied, but I don't disagree with the Steam part.  I guess Capcom doesn't want nude skins of Juri to be possible so they stopped the port. Most likely. "

such a shame cause i pretty much play PC exclusively so i most likely wont get them for my 360
