Capcom Issues Apology Over SFxT’s Online Co-op
Count me surprised; Capcom has issued an apology and explanation. Well, more like the developer themselves had to step-in and clarify after Christian Svensson and Capcom’s erroneous previous explanation.
Throughout the development process, there are times when new features are added (and we added a lot of them!) and there are also times where we have to make tough decisions regarding things to cut. This was one of those times.
This mode is supported in the PlayStation 3 version, however, since we tackled that earlier and found the architecture of their system to be more conducive to implementing it. This is the most content we’ve ever packed into a Street Fighter game, so we hope that there are plenty of other modes and features to keep everyone busy for a long time.” -Ayano
No mention of the Disc-Locked-Content. Clearly Capcom couldn’t stand behind Christian Svensson’s statement that,
For those of you who called out Microsoft and said it was their fault, its clear that wasn’t the case. Odd that this is the feature that got cut, but yet they still had time to make those DLC characters. But still, at least they owed up to ONE of their mistakes. Still are they going to stick to their guns? They previously said they has NO plan to patch this in later. Listen, I like Capcom games; I’m looking forward to Dragon’s Dogma and Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City, but I’ll be damned if I support practices like these.
Don’t buy the DLC Characters.
Don’t buy the Alternate Costumes (which are also on the Disc).
The Full Post can be Found at Here at Capcom Unity.
Thanks to @spengali74 for pointing it out to me.

I feel SHAME for having bought some of CRAPcom’s products in the last year, but no more. They’ve done so much shit and never listen to players. Many of us grew up playing their games and what do they do? Redesign characters with no reason, make horrible sequels, charge for demo and “DLC” on the disc, etc.
CRAPcom’s arrogance and behaviour will make them go bankrupt in the next years. But the games won’t end with them. Better companies (none can be worse than CRAPcom) will buy the games, LISTEN to fans and rebuild them.
I bought Marvel vs Capcom 3, then I bought Jill and Shuma-Gorath separatedly (I didn’t know they were already on the disc that time) and later I tried to expand to Ultimate MvsC3, but didn’t work and fucking PS3 didn’t give my money back or let me buy something else.
After that and getting informed about all shits CRAPcom has been doing in the last years, I decided that I’ll never again buy ANY of Capcom’s product. Including Street Fighter X Tekken.
Y’know when I was a kid it used to be one of my dreams to someday work for Capcom. My best friend and I would have all these excited talks about how we’d get to work on badass games like Resident Evil and Megaman and Street Fighter, how we’d get to be part of what was, in our opinion, THE greatest gaming company in the world. Oh how the mighty have fallen. I can’t even begin to voice how shameful these business practices feel to me. But I suppose we all should have seen it coming, it is the universal trend of business these days to grow huge and start caring more about your quarterly bottom line than the quality of the product or how your poor business decisions will impact the consumer.
This is unacceptable, and to have the nerve to say their not patching it up is fucking lazy! the game seems good, so dnt buy it at full price, so that they learn to respect their customers
THEY CANT MAKE MONEY IF WE BOYCOTT THEN THEY CAN ALL HEAR US!
Shame on you capcom! Im boycotting you so should all of you they will have to listen to us then!!
okay since i got the game i’ve been wanting to play toro, kuro and cole in arcade mode. the thing that pissed me off’ i can’t play it, “why can’t i”, is capcom working on their story for them or are they there just for show?
Dont forget Valve and Rockstar
They’re awesome too
This is all bulls***, now I am absolutely furious, especially with a professional fanboy like angry joe who want to force his opinions to people, he took his rants WAAAYYY too far. Thats it, i’m abandoning the joe show, I used to find his rants kinda amusing, but this stupid mistake of going too far just makes me wanna puke all of my guts out. I hope to god the Angry Joe show gets cancelled and vargas loses his job of everything. F*&@ you, joe.
dont really see why you think agryjoe is wrong since every statement he makes is right. anyone not seeing the bullshit above this is a full rate retard. Since Mortal Kombat can do the same. being a player of that game i know its right. Angryjoe tells people to use there brain before buying this game and there by supporting a company who over and over makes new way to hustle money out of you by givin you less than all other game developers. thank god im playing MK since you actually gets a shitload of content
exactly. ignore dumbasses like Ruffy and the guy u responded too. I dont understand why some people straight up choose to be ignorant – and do something about the sh*t they dont like. finding all manner of excuses to maintian the status quo and reward capcom’s (or any company who uses shady practices) behaviour.
dlc on the disc is not inherently evil, it may be incompleted content.
but when it is something simple that was always free, such as costumes, when the game is already as limited as a fighter financially speaking (look at how much content u get in Skyrim for the same price? who do u think does more work?) companies making games in that genre hould be the LAST ppl cutting corners for extra change
rei you suck noob
all that statement did was prove your idiocy and inability to think
You know, I’m stupid. I didn’t notice this until recently and now that I’ve noticed this I wonder if this is a sign that Capcom won’t make the same mistake as they did before. Honestly, I’m still anxious for them to go back to the Devil May Cry series and continue the storyline like they should have many times before they decided on a reboot.
I feel like Namco Bandai and Bethesda are the one of the few honest game companies left.
I worked retail selling games for years. Joe is right. Don’t buy the game day one. That’s what they base there numbers on. It hits them hard. Preordering too. If you still won’t the game buy it used. The company doesn’t see any of that money if you get it used. Holding out for GOTY editions is also wise.
I hate it when game publishers do shit like this like this I makes you wonder if they even care about the product they make or just trying to get your cash…. It’s stuff like this that makes me want to mode my system so that I can play “borrowed” backup copy of games from friends so that I can still get to play the game but at the same time I am not supporting and encouraging these despicable habits and if they do when they are caught they just man up to it instead of trying to cover it up.
Honestly , game companies are just getting worse and worse after longer periods of time activision : alot of games EA : Alot of Games Capcom : Scamming Others Insomniac : sold their best game. gaming companies seem to make the biggest mistakes , i dont think alot of people would’ve cared if they sold their ratchet and clank idea to activision instead , but sell a game that could’ve made them millions , and they decided to sell it to the worst of all companies…
man, what happened to capcom? they used to be the guys that i would know would be worth spending my money on. they would always deliver everything too. then gaming became big and mainstream and they got shit loads of money and DLC’s became a thing and they decided “hmm, people really like our games and will keep buying them. should we keep using that money to produce more quality games and advance this industry to a better state? NO. lets keep all that money to our fucking selfs and find as many ways to buttfuck the little people’s wallets because they have to buy it!” atleast ea is looking like there learning and stopping the bullshit, and alot of the time there shitty business practices don’t affect the game that badly. (we don’t talk about a certain*coughbiowarecough* game developer). but this fucking shit man. this shit makes me not even want to touch RE6 or DMC5. i can just FEEL the bullshit seeping in from those games. i used to LOVE street fighter, and marvel vs capcom was the arcade machine me and my buds would go to the most! atleast we still have netherrealms, they definitely know how to do this. god, i miss the old capcom man. what happened to you?
capcom and ea are like justin bieber,they produce a lot of bullshit!
DO NOT FORGET ACTIVI$ION !!!!
capcom just wants to empty our pockets like the pigs they are,and that’s the best they can do, apologize?well fuck you too capcom,saying sorry infinite times will never make up for your incompetent,ignorant and selfish,evil acts you did before and the DLC bullshit everyone has to fucking put up with,I say capcom should be 100% replaced and let other people make the games u failed to get any of it right
I say fuck it boycott there shit….all of it….
If I had the even an inch of respect for Capcom, Before this Bullsh*t, It’s gone now.
THAT’S their apology!? Really? That does it I’m boycotting Capcom. I know that sounds a little extreme, but for someone who can barely afford a few good video games at a time this is going to be an easy task. For those who don’t want to boycott an entire company, I would strongly encourage you to either ignore the DLC completely or hack into it. You payed for the game once, you shouldn’t have to again. We need to remind these morons they need us for their income, and we have plenty of options besides just their games.
If you don’t like the games, don’t fucking play them. otherwise, go die in a river of feces, you piece of shit.
kill your negative attitude, quit gaming, and go work in welfare, you deserve it along with all the other butthurt people out there. Have a nice day, boy.
What, you work for capcom? I agree. Its unacceptable and I got better things to splash my hard earned cash on. You wanna defend em fan boy?
BULLSHIT CAPCOM BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THAT ” APOLOGY” IS COMPLETE AND UTTER BULLSH*T. we the gamer must stand up and mean all gamers ps3,xbox,pc, it doesn’t matter! i will bet money that right now capcom is laughing at us. but the question is why are they doing this, i thought they wanted us buy from them. hmph, aint that just a kick in the face. we will find a way to strike a crippling blow to capcom. i would like to thank angry joe for this, capcom will pay…
sigh. im a young boy who has no internet. and doesnt get much money sadly because i dont have a job and i have a single mother who has to feed 5 kids including me. ive saved up my money for weeks……no…. months and i really wanted to buy streets x tekn. and i was just about to buy it the next day until i saw joe’s video rant…..now im not wasting my money you mean to tell me that if i buy this game im waisting my money because the vida already gets more chars than the release??? fuck that im sticking to mugen….smh…….ima be strait though i love megaman. the entire megaman franchise from game one to x to starforce to zx etc. and the reason ive posted this long ass comment is to show you the severity of the fucked up bull shit that you capcom are doing. im an advent fan of the megaman series me and my younger brother. and we even play street fighter. but marvle vs capcom was a disgrace to to mvc2, umvc3 is an even bigger disgrace! and streets x tekn is no better. honestly from a gamer whos played your games since the 90′s i say to you got jump off a cliff, and bring back the developer’s who made your fucking company what it was back in the day. when marvel vs capcom 2 came out me and my friends used to say “fuck marvel” but seeing what you did with marvel vs capcom 3 untill you guys get your shit together we say ” FUCK CAPCOM!!!!!!”
i ran two blocks down the street from my house in the middle of the rain on some random persons porch just to steal there internet so i could write this THATS HOW SERIOUS THIS IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Capcom is Such A Bitch .. I Have Bought SF X TK And Now I Find Out That You Cant Unlock Characters By Beating The Story Instead You Have To Pay For The Fucking Characters !!! . Fuck You Capcom Fuck Ayano Fuck The Creators Of This Game , I Have Waited Sooooo Long For DMC That It Would Be On PC But No !! Fuck No !! Instead Capcom Cancelled It On PC Upsetting Majority Of PC Gamers Fuck You CAPCOM !!!!! FUCK YOU !!!!!!!! I Am Seriously Never Buying Any Of Your Games You Retarted Homophobic Gay Bastards !
I am never buying a capcom game until they abandon these practices first street fighter then marvel now this wow next thing i found out is devil may cry reboot is not dante well fuck you capcom no game is gonna be purchased from me ever again
I am not listening to whatever EA says, because its bullshit. I spent 60 dollars on BF3 just to know that people can unlock all the fricken weapons just be paying 25 bucks, and that Back to Karkand was already on the disc. As well as Sf x Tekken. They LIE to us, they swindle our hard earned money and don’t give a shit about the gaming community. I cannot respect third party developers anymore.
Well heck I hate what capcom has been doin lately regardless of people complaining bout making them pay twice even tho its on the Disk already that’s bullshit ! Here I was gona buy dragons dogma ,resident evil 6 but now capcom can go FUCK THEMSELVES !! and if you people delete this won’t matter I’m still gona spread the word until you guys get your shit together ..
Capcom’s doing Dragon’s Dogma? Well heck, looks like I’m not buying it. Too bad, I was looking forward to the game too. Still, I refuse to buy Capcom or EA titles at full price anymore, and preferably not new either. Their practices make me sick. Time to hit my backlog of games…
don’t buy Disc Locked Content
Hack it or Mod it
Yeah I don’t really remember the last time I bought a Capcom game……in fact now that I think about it I don’t think I ever have. Anyway I’m just gunna wait for Tekken X Street Fighter, I’ve always loved Namco’s 3D graphics. Ever since SF switched to that bullshit graphic art 3D I haven’t played it. They went from vintage & awsome sprites, to beautiful 2D animation, and then to this lame ass 3D graphic style shit. I wouldn’t mind so much if it was more like Afro Samurai where it looks more natural, but other wise it sucks especially when they use it in the trailers making everything look like it’s made from water!!
http://kaz-z.blogspot.co.uk/ check out my blog for sfxt character breakdowns!
Capcom is competing with EA I think. Their CEO’s are calling up each other going: “Damn you see what I did? I gave em DLC but locked it on the disc, hahahaha” “oh u poor jive ass fool, I took out the ending off my game and will release it later as DLC, hahahaha”
WTF is going on with the gaming industry??
Capcom I hate you. I will never purchased any video game made by you. F*** YOU!
Jesus Christ, whats with the negative attitude? can’t you quit gaming and get on with your miserable life? its for your own good.
Capcom makes me sick, with all this dlc on disc crap. But not only that,
they lie to their fans constantly and essentially spat on Megaman fans like myself. I was never interested in Street Fighter x Tekken to begin with so i will
in NO SHAPE OR FORM support this game and Crapcom’s practices.
Screw you Crapcom and your practices of ruining games and charging twice for the F***king addons later! >:(
Fuck’em wait for the complete edition with ALL CHARACTORS they need to with Arkham City & Skyrim Like Undead Nightmare & GTA: Complete Edition.
I Agree Fuck You CAPCOM AND FUCK YOU SLANT SIX GAMES you are ruining Games You just became the new Sega Dreamcast obsolete ASSHOLES
Also I Buy A game and then a month later you fucking charge ppl double in price for your fucking add ons what the hell its like buying the game 3 to 4 times in price wise
Self immolation is the only acceptable form of apology for this transgression.
did you know that the dlc characters are going to be release this fall after the vida version of the game to me I’m not going to wait until fall to buy them. thats just stupid for them to do that.
fuck u capcom what about the people who got banned you fucking ass holes unband them
I want a better apolgy. ._.
what
the hell which mortal kombat kick capcom ass
mortal kombat kicks Capcoms ass
Voy a poner esto en español e inglés:
Según Capcom, el dlc genera un costo extra y para ellos tanto el contenido inaccesible del disco como los dlc son lo mismo. Solamente hay una pequeña diferencia en ambos, el contenido que viene dentro del disco entró dentro de un presupuesto y el dlc que se hace después del lanzamiento del juego sí genera un costo extra; por lo que el argumento de los directivos de capcom no es válido.
According to capcom the dlc generates an extra cost and for them both the disc locked content and the downloadable content are the same thing. There’s just a little big difference between them: in the first case the content enters in the budget of the development of the game, in the second case, when the dlc is made some time later after the game is released, the dlc generates and extra cost. So the argument of capcom’s managers is not valid.
hey joe my friend found this link in Gamefaq that might worth checking. it seems the sales for street fighter x tekken is bad.

Emailing company directly is the best way to let them hear us!!!
enough of this BS, Capcom!!
the problem is, they wont listen! you know whats gonna happen to all those emails? ctrl-a delete! capcom doesnt give a flying FUCK anymore. they probably literally hire people to find more ways to buttfuck the costumers.
i am a ps3 user so this issue is not a problem to me but we all still with the 360 users pissed about the new charecters in the future as a DLC that already on the disc they even selling the new costums as a F#*!+^$ DLC and they never speach about it as it’s getting annoying to the fans! i guess the gaming industry will gonna go to the dark age again in the future due to the annoying DLC thingy this is why they stop making game sharks or action replay and cheat codes if you still remember these cheat discs so they can control these stuff and this time you gonna pay for cheat codes!
yeah right why im going back to nintendo
dude….. no homo but i love you for what you said.
hahaha fucking Capcom
so this guys are apologizing for the faq that xbox cant do one single thing? WHAT ABOUT THE FAQ THAT THERE MAKING PEOPLE TO PAY MORE FOR S@#T THATS ALREADY ON THE DISC? THAT IS F@#$ING BULL S@#T WHY CANT THEY SAY THERE SORRY ABOUT THAT AND FIX THIS PROBLEM YOU’RE LOSING FAN! LOVE YOUR GAME BUT UR FUCKING WITH GAMERS NOT NOOBS!
The fun part about this is that Xbox live isn’t even at fault for this. Its always been able to mix and match only with the condition that each user have a tag that can go online or be a guest… hmm… kinda like PS3 does. Common senses are tingling. Capom : Bullshit ratio rising.
