SFxTK DLC Characters Confirmed On Disc

SFxTK DLC Characters Confirmed On Disc

None

It turns out that Street Fighter X Tekken’s expanded roster of DLC characters is unfortunately just locked on-disc content. The characters were teased as exclusives for the Vita version that may come to consoles as DLC one day. They included Lars, Alisa, Dudley, Elena, Sakura, Blanka, Bryan, Jack, Christie, Lei, Guy, and Cody. A few fans found through a glitch that all of these characters are on the disc in fully playable forms, complete with voice acting.

A lot of fans in the fighting game community now feel cheated, considering there is literally nothing stopping us from playing as these characters at release other than arbitrary Capcom business roadblocks. They even have fully implemented intros and endings, which have also been recently leaked to the Internet.



Considering that this was leaked before the game even officially released, it has soured many gamers’ opinions of the game. In fact, there are already coalitions of gamers on forums around the Internet saying that they are canceling their pre-orders for the game at the last minute.

How do you feel about this? Is it okay for Capcom to lock characters as DLC just because? Does a developer have a right to charge us for on disc DLC? Or is it unethical to lock portions of your game in order to get more money from the fan base?
