Enigma DRM is Russian?

[dias_flac_0g]

Is this actually true? I see this being thrown around a lot with zero proof rather than "trust me bro".

If it's true then its time to uninstall every capcom game that has it, or do a full clean windows installation. Russia is literally at war with the west atm so we can't really trust any "DRM" from them. We have no clue if this "DRM" is not some secret rootkit that is literally collecting data even outside of the games themselves.

While there is no direct confirmation that it is a russian company, the website of Enigma is indeed based in Russia. The website also has a specific version in Russian language. As such, I'm inclined to believe that it is a russian dev.

Check out the following details about said website:

https://www.whois.com/whois/enigmaprotector.com

Which would be ironic and hypocritical considering that capcom is intentionally not selling their games to Russia region due to supposedly supporting the ukraine cause.

It doesn't help their credibility either when they have no publicly listed office address.

A simple question, does it matter where its from?

would you trust british DRM over a russian one?

Yes it definitely matters if it does not respect laws. That a company has no discernible business address or register listed is a big concern.

Yes, it does matter. I would trust British DRM over Russian, North Korean, or Chinese communist party DRM.

Because Western imperialism killed more people than any war? Actually they are fueling wars. Just another CNN grade education individual.

Damn, yeah thats fishy as hell. Weird that Capcom would use DRM from a country that is literally sanctioned to hell and back over the war in Europe.

Looks like its time to do a full windows 10 fresh install and stay away from any Resident Evil game atm.

Quite honestly i'm baffled that Steam is literally allowing this atm.

[DosBoss]

Sounds like a whole lot of unauthorised data collection to me...no ty.

[Waifu4Life]

In Soviet Russia, DRM hacks you.

[Ratsplat]

Even Capcom themselves are Russian.

Russian to add DRM to old games.

Weird?

Capcom is greedy (with suits that are tech illiterate and have a track record of screwing PC players over like with SF5 & MHW launch debacles) and Denuvo is expensive.

Why shell out all that money to infect (or reinfect) the old games with Denuvo when you can just use the dollar store equivalent and (theoretically) maximise your P R O F I T S?

When you think like a shameless greedy af corpo with no morals it makes perfect sense.

It didn't make sense to add DRM to old games if they wanted to protect themselves from piracy. Games like Revelations, OG RE4, RE5 and 6 were cracked many years ago. If they do block mods, we will once again be dealing with a situation where pirates will have a better version of the game, and people who legally bought the game will receive a worse version of the game. One of the biggest benefits of a PC is modding. There are a large amount of mods there, some cosmetic, some with new content, some are bug fixes if the developers don't bother to fix the issues, etc. One of the reasons I play on PC is because I don't like how limited consoles are in that aspect.

just like One fu&&cking DRM isn't enough for us PC gamers!

Your vilification of three entirely benevolent countries is wrong on so many levels.

SHHHH, Don't tell, they are gamers and not in the good sense of the word. (Although i don't care how invasive a DRM IS, a DRM is A DRM, treating paying customers as criminals and pirates don't get DRM, let that SINK IN)

*But , some of the users here (See previous posts), don't care about it, so they get what they deserve.

Another question before i will answer it myself and make some of the people here look like clowns...

Anyone here knows some of the laws regarding privacy in the UK? sure, you can search

Anyone here knows what data they (ISP's In the UK) gather when a client browse the internet and what is shared with the government ?

Anyone here knows what telephone communication data they (cellphone providers In the UK) gather when clients are using their phones to : Send messages , GPS location , call, browse the internet and what is shared with the government ?

Once you answer the above, same question as before, WOULD YOU TRUST THE BRITS OVER THE RUSSIANS WITH DRM?
*FYI : i am not taking sides, all DRMs are evil and retarded and so are you if you agree to it, no matter HOW INVASIVE it is or where its from.

Ukraine sends it's regards.

Your unfounded allegations of incompetence seems to be based on a developer's unfiltered, non-PR-trained response? Until you've taken Enigma Protector's implementation apart and scrutinised its performance & functions in a technical, documented manner; you can't label them as incompetent. In law-abiding countries; that statement could be classed as libel.

What's left of "Ukraine" is currently drafting pregnant women, folks. Let that sink in.

Its becoming increasingly clear that certain anti-Russian groups & individuals are trying to hijack the threads surrounding the Enigma Protector & Capcom situation to their own political ends. I miss the days when Steam threads were places of intelligent discourse. :(

Says the one who glows the most falseflagging and defending enigma, you don't even own the game.

lmao

No idea if your referring to me but I will answer in case you are.
I am well aware of the data Intelligence situation in the UK, EU and other world regions.
I am part of data-center operations as manager I have no illusion of privacy in any country we all have to uphold several laws that require logging of information under telecom acts here for prevention of terrorism and tax-fraud more than any hosting company ever will publicly admit most of which would be illegal for regular companies but due to requirements from government it is mandatory for our branch. We ourselves operate in the Seniors of Europe (SSEUR) territory which is part of the Fourteen Eyes SIGINT agreement.

Information will always be traded outside of our own control by agencies even sometimes when there is a conflict of interest.

That said you have to choose a side if your in the business and work with them.
Personally I have no problem with it simply for the reason its not going to change anything If i am going to complain about it. They will just cover there tracks at every public outcry and continue as before. We at least have a pretty good picture right now of all the under normal law illegal activity they are perpetrating thanks to dozens of leaks and the industry has adapted several safety measures to keep a tap on changes.

Though we might loose that advantage in about 5 years if E2E is severely compromised due to restrictions by law. This because the agencies are starting to realize that Quantum computers are not going to change the cryptography field the way the envisioned it 10 years ago.


What I do have a problem with is a company that has no public information about where it resides what privacy policy they uphold where legal contact is possible. I have a problem with that no matter which country we are talking about and regardless of the geopolitical theater unless the data itself was to be used for any form of crime or funding of it.

Holding a government accountable is almost impossible as civilian but holding a company accountable is thankfully not out of the fable realm *yet*

With regards to DRM I personally have no problem with it as long as its not privacy invasive does not run in the background with persistent online status. Do I think its effective to deter any piracy absolutely not and it never will be. Attackers will always beat defenders in Cybersecurity and the same goes for anti piracy protection. It is just a matter of time. Is every form of DRM worth my time to complain about no.
