Capcom, you have lost a sale, because of your disgusting DRM (I’m not kidding, I’m a fan of final fight). It is also Sony’s fault. Capcom wouldn’t be able to do this without Sony’s consent, in fact, Sony may be testing the waters of such DRM.

Such a thing should not be tolerated. There are ways to prevent non-legal game sharing, but this is not it. You should contact me for ideas if you can’t think of a better system; yes, ideas, I have them.

@101 ViolentPhlegm:

The impression I get (from what I’ve read online–unfortunately Capcom doesn’t seem too interested in actually informing its customers on its own) is that if the purchasing user account on your PS3 is set to auto-login (password is saved on the system), then another user on the same PS3 will also be able to play the game.

Wow, its kind of disapointing that capcom was not upfront about the requirement that you must be logged onto the psn to play this game. I don’t like to log onto the network unless I am buying something. This is very inconvenient. You can add me to the list of people that definately won’t buy this game now.

Capcom, just when I thought you weren’t going the evil, greedy way like Ubisoft, here you go releasing a DRM infested piece of classic game awesomeness without even telling us!

When I buy a game, I buy it because I want to play it any time I want, even when my internet connection is down! And yes, if I ever decide to travel to Afrika(for safari or something) or any other continent or country where the internet is not as abundant as in the US and I need to play Final Fight, I should be able to do it.

If you plan to keep adding DRMs in your games, you might as well allow us to rent them since by adding DRMs, you retain full control and the purchase is practically considered just a rental. For example, if the PSN network ever dies in the future(hope not!) so does any game that requires online validation.

Additionally, sharing games on the PS3 is practically impossible unless you share your username and password, which I am pretty sure no one who is smart enough will do to begin with. So I am not sure I am getting your way of thinking, Capcom.

I was planning on buying this but after what happened, I will pass. Here you go… You just lost 10 dollars.

I’d like clarification on what is meant by “Content may not be used by any other account.” If I purchase the game, it has to be my PSN ID that plays it? Or am I misunderstanding this? If someone buys the game, would their brother be able to play the game on the same machine with the brother’s ID or does it actually have to be the purchaser’s ID? Can the brother of the purchaser get their own save game, records and trophies?

You couldn’t have given folks a heads-up as to the backassward DRM included on this title? D**k move.

This sound great and I considered playing it but now that I know that Internet connection is mandatory… I don’t want it. Don’t be the next Ubisoft Capcom.

Yeah, the game is great! Problems though, I shouldn’t have to login online to play this. I don’t care about leaderboards, that means nothing to me. I just want to enjoy my game that I purchased, just like I should be able to save my file to a memory card. You guys are getting out of hand with this copyright protection crap. If one of my PS3′s burnout, I should be able to save my data. Then on top of it I can’t have it on two different machines.

If I have 2 PS3′s and I get tired of playing it downstairs, and I want to play it upstairs, I shouldn’t be met with this.

“This content will be available for use after 24 hours have passed from the time it was used on another PS3 system.
(80029752)”

I’m not sharing with friends or random people online, I’m going from one of my systems to another. That was one of the reasons for this feature, and it even says so in your TOS. It’s within my household I’m NOT sharing it with other PSN members, so we can play together, thinking we’re getting over on you. Oh I’m sorry, thinking we’re not giving you money, because that’s all you care about, right?

This needs to be fixed and if not, I won’t support ANY Digital Downloads anymore.

WARNING – YOU CAN NOT PLAY THIS GAME WITHOUT AN INTERNET CONNECTION!

If, for whatever reason, you want to play this game without an internet connection, you’re flat-out denied to even open the title screen. All you will see is an error message instead, saying you must be logged into the PSN to play this game.

This was never mentioned to me anywhere in the game’s description, and now I can’t even play this single-player offline beat-em-up when I’m not connected to the internet.

GET RID OF THIS PROBLEM, SONY/CAPCOM!

Totally, if we pay for games. . We shouldnt be held hostage by this rhetorical nonsense!
We should be able to play and access what we pay for. . If we have to play threw the psn, then the games we paid for become irrelevant and that is usary. . then we really truly fully don’t own what we paid for. The games really become temporary rentals. .
