I love Capcom's games. It's a shame that, when they can be bothered to have a minimal effort to port to PC, they go out of their way to discourage people from buying it. Be it GFWL or experimenting with some horrible form of DRM, they just don't want anybody to be interested in it, or at least paying money for it. Not only the big $40-$60 titles either, they've even put install limits on $5 games like Dark Void Zero.
It's kind of considerate of them, in a way, to discourage us from spending money on games, and to focus our time and money in other areas of our lives. They must also not be very confident that people would want to pay money for their games if they have to deliberately flaw just about everything they put on PC, so it's kind of nice to let us know that we shouldn't bother weeks or months before they even release a game in the first place.
I'd kind of like to be able to enjoy Capcom's games on PC, since I've been a Capcom fan for so very long, and am more interested in upgrading my PC than investing in a 360 or PS3, and this is an era where we can (ideally) expect ports to PC that, well... that aren't Megaman 1 and 3, but I guess they're adamant about not wanting people to pay money for their games for whatever reason. Unless I resort to piracy so I can enjoy Capcom's games on the PC like everybody else, I'll just have to stick with not playing them. Oh, well! :P
