Some consumers were particularly riled by Capcom’s decision to lock Street Fighter X Tekken downloadable content directly on the disc itself. Some were riled enough to file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau, with Cinema Blend posting a response from Capcom reportedly received by several consumers. Capcom’s statement defends the practice, noting that the company is sorry for customers that feel disappointed, though it adds that the game includes “an enormous amount of content” out of the box.
As for the DLC itself, the statement echoes Capcom’s previous remarks, saying that the on-disc content “will provide more flexible and efficient gameplay throughout the game’s lifecycle.” The statement adds that the only difference between on-disc and off-disc DLC is delivery method, with Capcom nothing there is “effectively no distinction” between them.
For what it’s worth, Capcom has closed 10 complaints with the BBB over the last 12 months, six of those coming since March 27, after the launch of Street Fighter X Tekken.
