Super Street Fighter IV skips PC release thanks to piracy

Sorry, PC gaming Hadouken enthusiasts — if you ever want a chance to play Capcom’s updated version of the latest Street Fighter, you’re going to have to do so on a console or in an arcade. In a recent interview with 4Gamer.net (via Gamasutra), producer Yoshinori Ono confirmed that while the PC version of Street Fighter IV was a big seller worldwide, the publisher has no plans to put the new and improved Super iteration on home computers due to the platform’s high rate of piracy.

Ono added that a PC port is still possible, if Capcom can find a reasonable DRM solution for the title. We think there are other ways around the problem — for instance, you could just donate some of the proceeds of the game to charity, as that might discourage oh no wait.
