Has it? I don't recall Capcom saying that was the reason they think it had been pirated.

I'm not understanding you here - you want them to put more effort into something but at the same time you can't abide it taking longer.. how on earth do you expect them to use their effort then? Putting more effort into development means you take longer on it, unless you are doing something weird like quadrupling your dev team. They are putting up with 'extra effort and reduced profit margins' - that's exactly the cost of developing for the PC. To be honest 5 months is an astonishingly small delay when you compare the complexities.

Or are you one of these people that wants games to be held up after completion so that you have a simultanious release cross platforms?

they managed to realse on both the ps3 and 360, with the PS3 requiring more effort than PC programming, they of course were willing to put that effort in for the PS3 market.

the facts are that if they want half decent sales on the PC they will have to get the game out at the same time as the other platforms, people just aren't going to give a turd about DMC4 5 months down the line on the PC. Personally I don't think DMC4 is the type of title ever likely to generate big sales on the PC.

If the effort required to get the game out on PC at the same time as the consoles is too much for Capcom then they will just have to suck it up and accept the poor sales when they release it 5 months down the line. It's pathetic to see multinational corporations making schoolboy excuses for the poor sales of their game as if anyone owes them anything.
