(DRM, Mods, Porn) Anyone else find it odd that...

[D. Flame]

Anyone else find it odd that Capcom is implementing DRM to prevent the use of mods, and one of the reasons that they are stating is "causes reputational damage," but there is still porn up on the "artwork" section of this very game on Steam? Like if reputational damage is the issue, shouldn't they be working to clean up that section too?

Lack of Money is the real issue. They realise that all those mods could have been money in their pockets.

no, this is why:

and they have no interest in monetizing that

As i said, if they cared so much can't they just ban that player for lifetime, make an example, instead of ruining their own games for everyone.

I think it's just an excuse to push DRM.

Resident Evil games will end up like Monster Hunter... hundreds of microtransactions like hata, har, tattoos, saveslots, clothes etc.

cause they want the money from that pc market

Doesn't sound like it...
Because they're actively killing their games by blocking mods.
If they want money, they should stop with the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, and let us play our the way we see fit.

Seems a little extreme reducing PC gaming market to mods, don't you think? Modding is surelly a big community, but I doubt it's more than 20% of PC players. Maybe not even 10%. And this number gets lower in a game like Resident Evil.

On top of that, suggesting not releasing on PC, like wtf.

Nah modding is very high with capcom games because its so easy to mod the games, install the mods and the games usually have great replayability.

More like 50%, possibily even more. Mods are not cosmetic only. Some mods add DLSS and FOV slider, other's changes the games difficulty by spawning tougher enemies for extra challenge.

So You're wrong, A lot of people play with mods.

ESG is the main reason.

Japan's prime-minister Kishida Fumio begged Blackrock to invest in Japan, and their condition is that Japanese companies need to accept their ESG guidelines, meaning they need to be woke.

If you go on Crapcom, Square Enix, Sega, Bandai, Koei's websites, all their sites have a section dedicated to their willing to do things as ESG guidelines said.

While I agree that it looks like the new PM that replaced the Assassinated one is bending the knee to Blackrock(probably no coincidence there). I think this decision to use DRM is purely Capcom exec's. Since woke Western game companies would have already been using it years ago if it was part of ESG.

It's most likely that Capcom wants to sell cosmetics, and cheat packs for single player games as they already have been doing. But realize that on PC mods already do this.

I think it's because some modders have become quite greddy lately, there's an Re4 modder charging up to 100 dolars per month for his mods, people forget the game has copyrights and charging for mods is actually illegal, I don't agree with Capcom but I understand it.

That's a seperate issue. Go after the modders charging for liscensed materials, not after all mods.

I think it's actually higher with RE games because they force undesirable settings on us. The narrow FOV and forced vignette in RE8 was unbearable enough for me to look into mods as a solution. Then they also lock VR behind the PlayStation platform, which also pushes people to install mods.
