Microsoft has control of the IP... And you know how lazy they can be at making games.

Dammit Windows. Why are there even language options if you choose to ignore it? I usually set my language options to ENG region with a GER keyboard layout. After a while Windows tries to sneak in the ENG keyboard layout again. This time I can't even remove it anymore. It's in my task bar as an option but it's not shown in the language options where I could remove it.

Valve now lets you map your own custom controller bindings in SteamVR

Capcom has removed the Denuvo anti-tamper tech from Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/capcom-has-removed-the-denuvo-anti-tamper-tech-from-marvel-vs-capcom-infinite/
It appears that Capcom has removed the Denuvo anti-tamper tech from Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite. Earlier today, the Japanese team released a 10GB update for the PC version of Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite and although there aren’t any release notes yet, users have reported that the Denuvo tech has been removed.
This is also evident from the game’s Steam store page. Prior to this update, the store page listed the Denuvo anti-tamper tech. However, right now there is no mention at all of it. Furthermore, users report faster loading times (and as we’ve already reported, Denuvo does have an impact on loading times).

>>Good news for the users of the game, and for those that are looking to get it.
