Thick Thighs Save Lives
NeoGAF's Physical Games Advocate Extraordinaire
I bet that all this bullshit was sparked by this unfortunate incident during a recent SF6 tournament, and Capcom said enough is enough.

Capcom started adding DRM Enigma Protector to their back catalog of games (prevents modding, cheating and reeduces FPS)

Remasters - nope not a thing with Capcom (tell me the last time they remastered a game)
Remakes - these games were all just remade (RE2, RE3, RE4) and RE7 and RE8 are still fairly recent
VR - Lol as if they're going to release RE4, RE7, and RE8 outside Sony ecosystem (if they haven't done it already, they aren't going to do it; that and it was likely funded by Sony)

Remasters - RE4 Ultimate HD, Dragons Dogma Dark Arisen - 7 or so years ago so yeah they seem to have walked away from remasters in favor of remakes.
Yes those games have all been remade so you want to push people to buy the new remake not just mod their original version.
VR - again selling the rights to RE4 original to Meta or RE4 to Sony as exclusives is gonna be more lucrative if they are exclusive.

If Piracy was so rampant why do most of Capcoms sales come from PC? PC equals Switch, Xbox, and PlayStation combined.

50% of Capcom's game sales now come from PC
Capcom management has confirmed that PC is a very important platform for the Japanese publisher with 50% of total video game sales coming from the PC.

In other words: they are promoting piracy.

Likely, but trying to pry nude mods from fans of japanese games is a big task. I think Capcom will waste a lot of money for nothing in the end.

PCMR no more? Mods are a major reason why people choose PC over console.
When you state all mods allow for a performance advantage vs your peers (i.e cheats), then you are just trying too hard when the game is singleplayer lol
Holy shit, fuck off Capcom, you colossal morons.
Capcom asking to lose money now? Too many wins I guess making their ego bloat.

Unfortunately Capcom is powerless in the face of player's horniness. They're doomed to fail.

seems like this DRM is more focused on stopping modding than pirating

I don’t understand why companies like Capcom court the PC gaming community successfully and then do something so incredibly stupid like this which will just burn up all the goodwill they established

I paid good money for this Dynex!
I'm a broken record at this point, but my God am I done with PC gaming. It just keeps getting worse.

What? In the context of this thread this makes zero sense.

? It’s not like you’re going to get more frames and mods on consoles.
So what’s you plan? Quit gaming?
Just chill, the PC community will find a way around this crap.

I fucking knew it. Capcom villain arc is fully under way. There's been multiple signs over the past few years with awful monetization on the rise in their games and the censoring "modern audience" focus shit.
WHY did they have to do this before DD2 came out? Games like that would have so much to offer the player with mods. Like a Skyrim with actual good combat...

Its very much a non-issue to resolve, the problem is paying costumers will now have to go through hops and loops whereas people with pirated copies won't.

Review bombing has begun.
Will Capcom get the message? Of course they won't.
Do you have a link for SteamDb? i want to see this fiasco on fold.

It's not just this. It's the broken ports and stuttering issues that seem to be getting worse with every passing month. Now Capcom - the devs who probably has the most stuff I care about on PC - is going back and breaking what worked a decade ago. Because why not? I don't want to deal with it anymore.

I'm reading up on this on various sites. Look like they walked back the Revelations update (for now), but only because it broke some in game items, likely not because of the backlash.
I rarely get excessively fired up about shitty publisher decisions, but Capcom retroactively adding mod-breaking DRM into old titles crosses a very clear line for me, personally. I will definitely drop some review bombs and spread awareness about this at a minimum. Might not seem like much, but with as lazy of a fuck as I am, if they have me motivated then they should know that they fucked up.

Shader stutter is annoying but I could never ever quit PC gaming, even with issues I still think it’s so far ahead of console gaming that I could skip having consoles alltogether. Steam Deck in a dock has started to infiltrate the living room now as well. Low fps and visuals but sharing saves with the PC makes it a perfect companion device for a PC.

Yep, planning to do the same. F this shit. Retroactively enshitifying old games is a new low for them.

I don’t game on PC so I’m not as informed on piracy. Can someone explain why companies apply Denuvo and Enigma despite all the performance drawbacks?
And why do other companies not use them sometimes?
Serious question, just wanna understand it.

Denuvo takes time to crack. Games sell the most (and get pirated) the most in the first few weeks of release. If they can buy themselves a month with Denuvo where the game isn’t cracked they make more money theoretically. Some companies will go back months after release and remove Denuvo. The performance hits are overblown however.
Why would you apply DRM to an old release that has long been cracked? Who the fuck knows.

This has to be old Japanese executives completely out of touch making this insanely fucking psychotic decision, no one that has even a semi formed understanding of the PC space would ever do something this exotically delusional.
Capcom, fire the people that approved this, it's going to create a surge of negativity that you will regret.
This inept and pathetically incompetent decision will provide you ZERO monetary benefit.
Expect steam refund request on old games, expect review bombing on a massive scale, expect piracy to increase.
Personally, my recently formed interest in Monster Hunter Wilds and DD2 has just died a still born death.
The sheer fucking hubris of this decision is off the charts.
