I would skip the Better Business Bureau and file a class-action lawsuit. There is precedent in consumer law stating that the physical product you owned is yours to own for your own private use (and this means that making backup copies of any video games, movies or music) is legal so long as this use remains private (e.g., don't seed it on a torrent site).

Under this precedent, one could make the argument that you own all of the data on the disc through purchasing the disc, therefore it should be illegal for the company to force you to arbitrarily pay more to unlock parts of the thing that you own and have paid for, especially if they are doing so in bad faith (pure profit-grabbing, as in this case). The practical argument is that: when do the servers run out? Once the server disappears, buyers of the disc in the future will have a game that is effectively locked out

Although i suppose that legal argument could merely be used to state that Capcom can't sue people who have cracked the characters open themselves, and not that Capcom isn't entitled to sell it to those unwilling to hack.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

We'll this is just unacceptable

Ask me about being an elitist jerk

Time for hype

This is exactly the reason to never buy a Capcom fighting game the first day, if at all.

The glitches/infinites, along with this, should be a testament to how anyone who bought this game didn't get a complete game.



Pixel Art can be fun.

Don't buy it, just don't.

And spread the word.



Well I guess it's a business strategy, soon too they'll release the super duper version containing everything.

Capcom is just kicking themselves in the foot. People (as seen above) won't buy the game if this is the case. The word will spread that it is a 'rip off' of sorts and people won't buy it, they will wait. I'm guessing this thread will be full of the recently popular DLC vs No-DLC?



This kind of DLC exists only because of people that keep paying for it.

If no one buys on-disc DLC they will be gone in a few years.



I'm waiting for the superior Tekken X Street Fighter anyway.



Capcom has taught me to buy their games cheap and used so that they wont make any profit.



Wow its not that big a deal, but whatever.
