Capcom not in as much "control" of pricing on Live Marketplace as Steamworks, knows about the DLC issues for non Steam users

GFWL should just die. Seriously, boycott games that use that service until it has disappeared.

Can't believe this issue still persist. Offer the download somewhere else to install in the HD then, wouldn't it work?

Does anyone here on eventhubs have the non-steam version and is able to download/install the DLC?
I know that I'm not the only one getting errors, but now I'm curious if there is even one person who was able to install it at all

Someone should get this under control.

Even Microsoft doesn't release games on GFWL anymore. The only publishers who seem to use it are Japanese.

Hey, you know what would stop this issue? Stop releasing games on %^&*ing GFWL.

Enough of this nonsense. Capcom should invest in making a Steamworks re-release. Better online, quicker patches, better interface, no region problems, and less piracy. If you support the idea, go post about it at Capcom-Unity as well.

During an earlier Ask Capcom stream, Sven noted that the suggestion is not unreasonable, and that it's something they've brought up before (not hard consideration).

GWFL can go die in a fire. Capcom shouldn't have used it in the first place, and for the love of all things holy don't use it AGAIN in the future.

@zUkUu - "GFWL should just die. Seriously, boycott games that use that service until it has disappeared."

1000% agreed.

Author, fiddly gibbet, but...maybe the headline should be:

Capcom not as much "in control" of pricing on Live Marketplace as Steamworks, knows about the DLC issues for non Steam users

"Capcom not in as "control" of pricing on Live Marketplace as Steamworks,"

this is some unbelievably awkward phrasing, especially considering Sven worded it coherently enough right there for you himself.

Same here, I don't personally know of anyone who was able to get DLC chars to work. Actually there's people who bought the DLC chars on January 31st (they pretty much came out on the Marketplace by accident on that date) and still cannot use them.

Colors aren't working too, though for some reasons you can get color pack 1 and special color pack 1.

It's amazing that Capcom still uses GFWL for some of their PC releases when they are full aware of how much more control they have over their own products if they used Steam.

It's like they enjoy banging their heads into a wall.

Stuff like this is why everyone lets out a collective groan whenever someone announces a pc port will go through GFWL. It baffles me how the Japanese still think anyone over here wants it, I guess their only contact with the western world are Microsoft officials.

Why is it that every time I turn around there's someone complaining about GFWL? Are they really that bad?

moral of the story:

DO NOT EVER GO THROUGH MICROSOFT FOR ANYTHING!

steam all the way! my sfxt with dlc characters was $13 because I bought everything while it was on sale. Unbeatable price even without having 2013 for a full game!

^ Smart gamer. We need more of him.

Capcom has no control with the pricing for DLC from the beginning not just Microsoft but also Sony. When comes to online DLC stores only Microsoft & Sony decides on pricing anyway.

Rather they make it available on GOG for the less retarded.

It's no surprise really since from the looks of things MS is starting to drop support for GFWL. Hell Halo and possibly 3 will be available on Steam. I'm glad MS has learned their lesson, GFWL is more of a clusterF**k to deal with than anything. Especially if it has Steam AND GFWL.

Many users report installation errors, not price issue.

They make a lot of games anyway, how about making their own network similar to Ubisoft's?

Dear developers,

this is why you don't use GFWL.

Sincerely,
PC Gamers

You guys do know that as of DmC all Capcom games for the foreseeable future are Steamworks with no hint of GFWL to be found.
The days of Capcom using GFWL has come to an end.
