![]() The ACTUAL damage comes from how many sales are lost. Maybe some casual people will just enjoy some short-term fun fighting the computer, but they could do that in the beta anyway. In a competitive fighter, people will need to buy a copy to stay competitive. Ono has already announced new characters that are scheduled to be released post-launch. With fighting games, it’s about fighting other players. Closer to 20, and probably more than that. ![]() I have played fighting games for over 10 years. ![]() Also it’s not hard to find things on the internet, so directly posting a link is only a minor enabler considering that you can achieve the same thing with a couple of seconds in Google. ![]() The negative presumption of a pirated copy is that it might take sales away from the video game company, but in this case I think it would just whet the appetite of the people that get it… like a demo or the beta that it actually is. And even if it were, the end goal is still to fight other players… and so a dodgy version which has disabled online functionality is still going to be unappealing in the long term. From my understanding of this leaked beta… this isn’t an option. Unlike the VS series, the combos aren’t extravagantly long, and so there’s even more of a focus on player vs player. My friends and I are hardcore fighting game enthusiasts, and as Alex says the beta is essentially practising combos/beating up the AI(and exploring the engine). I’m going to be the devil’s advocate here and say that this isn’t so bad.
