What’s your favourite instance of fans influencing the direction of a franchise?
Ever since they added DRM Anti-cheat to Capcom Arcade 1 and 2, I satisfy my nostalgia for old Capcom games… Other ways.
There’s this guy who stands in an alley near my house who sells a USB stick with everything Capcom ever made before 2004.
I’m sure he’s officially licensed. He’s my preferred Capcom vendor, because that USB stick was DRM free.
