Hilarious how that became, "You will be charged 400 MS points for this purchase."

Is there no way of getting theses cheats through an unlock via the game? I am growing more and more jaded with the game industry's focus on monetising things that weren't before.
I'm not surprised to see this coming from the company that releases DLC packs as full games. Fucking cunts.
5 FUCKING DOLLARS
I was seriously going to get this game, now I am too offended. What a bunch of cash grabbing fools.

And people wonder why I stopped buying Capcom products months ago...

All parties involved with the success of this kind of thing share the blame, for sure.
In any case, I was just talking to a friend of mine about how badly I miss cheat codes. Moves like this don't surprise me, publishers have been actively monetizing as many aspects of their existing product as they can for years now. As long as we continue to allow publishers to make more money on the same product, they will continue their march to a fully monetized gaming experience, where every aspect of a complete game is broken apart and sold individually to maximize profits.

Publishers have been doing this for years - I believe SKATE 2 was the first one to popularize it.
By guess who? EA!
There ARE still games out there that do cheat codes though. I believe the new Twisted Metal will have cheat codes.

You know how to boycott this, DONT BUY THE DLC. Pretty much how you tell Capcom to fuck off. Make better games to get profit, not nickel and dime us. Bunch of wankers. I remember going to websites as a kid to find out the latest cheat code for the GTAs and other games. I loved it. Made games so much more fun. As long as THQ doesn't do it for SR3 I'll be happy. Those codes added so much more time to SR2.
cheatings bad folks! If you need cheats to beat a game then u must pay!
And if its just silly entertaining cheats like big heads or w/e... i dnt mind that as dlc... but 400 points is a bit pricy. Might blow a spare 20-50 points on it if i was bored.

You can blame the greedy sods if you want. If one person purchases this i'm blaming him.... yes you!
It's not the first time Capcom does this, they also sell extra costume COLOURS in SF3 Third Strike Online as DLC. But hey you know what? I think reviewers are part of the problem. When you lust over the cheap plastic toy that comes in the limited edition of some new game, you give the message that these useless accessories are actually worth something. So no wonder if people are then ready to spend money to have some avatar shirt or to play with big head Frank West.
I want there to be one that makes your character move faster, so then I can call it "run dlc" and amuse myself that way.
Of course people will still buy this and Capcom will be justified.
Learn to vote with your wallets, people.

Capcom needs to get their heads out of their asses. The people who buy this shit need to become less dillusional.
I'll go ahead and blame publishers and fans who support this. Not just one or the other. Want to make it up Capcom? How bout spending some money on another (GOOD) Breath of Fire game. No? You'd rather fund shit like this? Fair enough, I'd rather play other games.

Really capcom. I haven't bought off the record nor will I.
I'm all for supporting the industry but dammit there's a line as to what I'm willing to tolerate and this crossed it.
Fucking cheat codes as dlc, seriously?

Also, for those who haven't seen it. Check out DLC Quest. I know it's on XBLIG, but it's potentially the funniest thing I've seen recently on this whole DLC topic.
Not that I ever used cheat codes much, but it's still pretty lame they're stooping to selling this sort of thing.
First Bioware sells side quests and now Capcom with cheat codes.
I hope Nintendo doesn't let third parties run wild with this garbage on Wii U, I'd like at least one place where games can still be pure games.

God forbid they make money. It has nothing to do with core gameplay. It's a business. In order to succeed they need to charge money for their services. The market will decide if they overreached or not..
@Beatola
Except there's a huge difference between "making money" and being assholes. This is basically abuse of their fanbase. Sorry, but I really don't trust the majority of people playing games to notice "Hey, this should have been in the game anyways, why do they want me paying extra for it?"

I don't get the outrage. It's not like they've taken a big part of the game out to sell for DLC or that they're requiring you to download DLC to get the full experience. They sold keys to lockers to get outfits in the original Dead Rising, and I don't remember people raging then.
I'm not going to buy the cheat pack, I just don't see this as a huge deal.
Also, didn't Crackdown sell an entire package of cheats after it came out? I definitely don't remember people raging about that.

Capcom's target demographic must be youngsters who don't remember a time when these things were hidden discoveries built into the game.. hell, I can't remember a [console] game since the early Tony Hawk titles that even had "cheats" (though it's possible I've simply bypassed some) so the whole concept - with a pricetag or not - is probably new to some people. These are the gamers who will happily drop $5 without realizing what an ethical crime it is and Capcom will laugh all the way to the bank.
@Zaheer: There should be should be some Run DLC for DMC.
@Abnegation: and that is the problem. People not caring, so they will continue to do it. Ever hear that saying - " First they came for the communists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left to speak out for me."
Its what is happening now. Its not a big deal because it doesn't directly effect you. But leaving something like this go, will only pave the road for more and more features to be aftermarket dlc, while still paying the $50-$60+ to purchase the disc
I've joked before that the next version of Street Fighter will make you pay for special moves so Ryu can throw a hadouken. The more and more I see with the current game industry, the more and more I see this becoming reality, instead of a stupid joke.
Capcom, who used to be one of the greatest companies for creating videogames, now seems to be leading this assault on the same people who have supported them since the Nintendo era.
It's a sad day when innovation is pushed out of the way for copy and paste gameplay and quick money.
Thank goodness for Indie games.

Is this the first? I thought plenty of other publishers had been selling "cheat code" dlc for awhile now already.
