Capcom Talks PC Games Piracy


Capcom's Christian Svensson believes piracy may be to blame for disappointing sales of Devil May Cry 4 on PC.

"I'm not sure about how Capcom in general feels but It's not doing as well as I would like in the US at retail," said Svensson in a forum post. "It's such a good version and it really deserves better sales. I know it's getting pirated to hell and back (it was up on torrents literally the day it shipped)."

He went on to say that he is pushing for digital distribution for Capcom's PC titles.

"I have a presentation I'm making shortly that I'm hoping will make that approach something we do with all of our PC content," said Svensson, "but no promises. It might not happen."

The PC version of Devil May Cry 4 was released last month and features new modes, enhanced visuals and additional content.
