Confirmed: There won't be a steam pre-load

A person working at Capcom confirmed just now. (https://twitter.com/ImKatastrophe/status/1389995805336014857)

Obviously very disappointing.

you forgot to mention all the ones that aren't

Then start listing, so far you only produced verbal diarrhea...

Pre-loads are eligible if a game exceeds a 55gb file size. How big is Village?

Mafia -DE has 36GB and offered preloading a week before release...

Eh, that stinks. But, what can you do. That is a bad idea, but what's done is done.

What is their problem?

They probably fear that with pre-load, pirates will get the game files and crack it, and therefore release the game for free earlier than release day.

Which will most likely wouldn't happen anyway, RE8 is protected with ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Denuvo.

steam preload is even a complete game file. it's a hidden encrypted files that needs to be decrypted/unpacked on release day. it's impossible to crack steam preloads.

that said, users with fast internet should never use preload because downloading the full game on release is faster than decypting preloaded files.

I agree. That decryption process is a real bummer. Thanks for reminding me. Regardless of the size, the 50+ MB/s I'm gonna get is gonna be way faster than that decryption will.

My theory is that because of datamining and the fact that we broke all the rules regarding the demo (reseting/freezing the timer, speeding the launch countdown of the demo), was enough to piss capcom off. But that's just a theory.

A game theory!

Not true, but not false. You can crack a pre-load. It's very difficult and time consuming because you're having to decrypt everything, then unpack everything. Some preloads are have the game data files and not the exe files and dll's so it can't run even if you did decypher it.

Pretty Jedi Fallen Order was cracked a day before it released, or it might of been a different game.

We will have no FOV slider, no Pre-load, eat bugs, own nothing, and be happy.... or we can buy a PS5 from scalpers on Ebay and be accepted into Capcom's bosom.

I have fiber wire and it downloads fast under normal circumstances, but won't the fact a trillion people will be trying to D/L at the same time slow everyone down?
