Capcom is updating multiple Games for Windows Live titles on Steam to make them available again.

Including:
- Lost Planet 2
- Street Fighter X Tekken
- Ultra Street Fighter IV
- Resident Evil Operation Racoon City

Well, we have hope, guys. I really want this game on Steam. Let's ask support and make it happen.

I've seen this article around September this year, and even then, it's been three years now. I mean, if they don't want to fix the game, just make it available and let people fix it themselves, there's far worse games out there in a similar situation.

I'll believe it when I see it over any speculation or intern messing around

i dont think they are working on a fix, never were, probably just using dead games to show new hires how to work with steam listings

Doubt it. A lot of these capcom games had similar depot names of randomized generated-text like via SteamDB.

However a lot of these were never updated, the ones that did was pretty small updates. (E.g a quick import of steam_api64.dll) to the main executable to make piracy harder (it doesnt)
Some of them added new type of drm called enigma. SF5 removed it's customized DRM.

Nowadays its the GFWL games that mostly get these updates on the old games. RE:ORC had one yesterday, so i think they are for real about doing something about GFWL titles

SF4 isn't getting branch updates for almost a year, which makes it a possibility that they thought its a waste of effort since they already sell USF4 which uses steamworks and is up to date.

Older versions of games such as dmc4 & 3 were delisted recently so it makes sense they may have dropped OG SF4 from being updated.

What approach they are using no one knows.
Just hope it isn't just a import of a modified xlive.dll to the executable and calling it a day. (That means its just using gfwl bypass and no online, no steamworks features, etc)
