Steel Battalion LOC: Duplicated Optional Parts Seized

[bargora]

Well, the wheels of justice grind pretty Falchion slow around Capcom HQ, but somebody must have held Inaba's feet to the fire. I had posted a previous thread explaining what the optional parts duplication bug was:

While Capcom had stopped the process of duplicating optional parts, they had previously taken no action to eliminate said surfeit of illegally duplicated parts.

Well, now Capcom is going to solve the problem by seizing all optional parts held by players on November 3. A shame to throw out the honestly earned parts in the process, but in this case I'm happy to see the baby go along with the bathwater. Too bad that the barn's mostly empty now, but that's the way the cookie bounces.

About friggin' time.

Phew...for a second I had a vision of FBI agents storming people's houses and confiscating knobs off their Steel Battalion units :P

At the risk of prematurely ejecting this thread off course, let me make one thing perfectly clear.

Nobody, nobody confiscates my knob.

By the way, is there anybody posting here who even plays the game any more?

Ehh, I've played it on-and-off for about a week after it came out and haven't touched it since. The lag was so terrible, it was too much for me to deal with. Heard it's a little better now though. I'll probably start playing again soon since the cheaters are being weeded out with this bug fix.
