Amid all of the rumors floating around about piracy being the main culprit as to why Street Fighter 4's PC release is in the summer time, Capcom V.P. Christian Svensson stepped in with the real story on his blog.In the land of the Internets, people write a lot of stupid, unfounded statements. It's hard to not expect that.
Case in point, this nugget that arrived in my inbox via Google alerts:
Capcom delayed Street Fighter IV on PC because of piracy madness = FAIL
That is a complete and utter load of tripe. There's no quotes from any Capcom representative to that effect. No statement has ever been made by us about the difference in the shipdates (beyond the multiple times I've answered the question every time it was asked in our Ask Capcom forum). And I'll give the same answer.
The game isn't out on PC because it isn't done. It's really that simple.
The team is still working on optimizing for various hardware configs, integrating an online service that didn't exist on the arcade version (details to be announced later), rolling in all of the content from the console version and making sure the additions of the championship content we'd recently announced will be there on day one for the PC.
