Classic Valve move, tease neat hardware then tuck tail when real-world supply chains hit. Yes, RAM and SSD prices are bonkers right now, but I still think they should have either locked suppliers before announcing or waited to show anything that needs a launch window. Saying “first half of the year” with no prices feels like selling hype, not products.

That said, the controller looks awesome and foveated streaming is actually a clever idea that could help these boxes punch above their weight. If they share CAD and let the community mod faceplates, I will forgive them slightly. But I’m not holding my breath for H1 deliveries, not unless prices calm or they get lucky with parts.

Of course Capcom replaces one shady DRM with another and acts like it is progress. DRM is DRM, it still breaks mods, performance and trust. I am tired of studios pretending a different logo makes it OK.

Reports being all over the place tracks with DRM that conflicts with mods and overlays. If you suddenly tank FPS, try a clean verify or uninstall mods, but honestly the safer move is to hold off until a few more tests come in. Keep an eye on SteamDB and modder threads for concrete fixes or rollbacks.

Bottom line, don’t trust Capcom to pick something that benefits players. If it harms your game, request a refund and vote with your wallet. DRM should never be the default.
