Capcom’s had enough of your crap, Street Fighter V rage quitters

You better get your finger off that Ethernet cable, because Capcom is no longer going to suffer people who pull the cord on their Internet.

The publisher has revealed today some of the first steps its going to take to counter rage quitters in its Street Fighter V fighter. Like any online competitive game, the new Street Fighter has a problem with people quitting early by disconnecting data cables or turning off their router to avoid taking a loss. This is driving honest players mad because it also means they do not get the win. To deal with this, Capcom says it’s developing a system to spot people who have a high rate of disconnecting from matches, and it will then use that evidence to punish those players. Having processes in place to deal with this kind of cheating is crucial for a highly competitive game like Street Fighter V because it is all about how you stack up against the competition. And players may get discouraged and lose engagement if they feel like they are getting screwed out of a fair win.
