What's This DRM Thing?

[Sparky862]

That's got the community in such a rattle? I'm lost because they call it virus, but why would a game company put virus on our computers?

I am lost here, what's so bad about DRM

Pretty sure that's just people calling DRM viruses and using and false positive to say this is true, the real issue is capcom going against mods because they want to sell more cosmetics in futurre games.

Capcom retroactively added DRM from some really sketchy company associated with malware to some old titles and may end up adding it to the rest of their games.

So we won't be able to run mods? Simple mods like Beam Loot Drops?

I don't know if they will be successful in stopping mods but they clearly want to stop all mods.

I would hope not, but that was the most alarming bit of the DRM situation.

DRM - Digital Rights Management

It's basically like, when you spend months creating 3D digital art and you want protection from randoms taking your art, putting NSFW content all over it and then loads of people making content on their version of your work and mocking it and then changing peoples perspective of your work and future work because now any time you spend months or years making new 3D digital art, you're aware people are just waiting to slap NSFW parts onto it.

I think if the modding community weren't as focused on cheat mods or NSFW content, if they had actually put effort on to creating mods that added genuinely more depth to the game or its lore, there would have been a different reaction from Capcom, evident by how other modding communities are highly praised like the Bethesda modding community

If you think the Bethesda modding community is less horny than this one then you are delusional.

Most of the hate DRM gets is because it gets pushed into mainly if not exclusively single player games forcing them to be "online" all the time for no good reason.
It's fair to dislike that imo.

In some cases DRM also negatively affects game performance which is another valid reason gamers hate it.

As for the Virus thing.. I think that's more associated with some rarer cases of DRM being less secure than it should be thus resulting in people's data and info being stolen because of the DRM itself.

It's not just gamers that hate DRM though, there's quite a few developers that are outspoken against it as well.
The Witcher Developer, CD Project Red is one studio that openly hates DRM.

For the most part DRM just doesn't work either, people who "yo ho" their games continue to break and get around DRM no matter how much time and effort is spent making it "impossible"
So the only thing DRM really achieves is screwing over legitimate customers at the end of the day, and that's another reason many people hate it, including CDRP who are on record stating that being one of the big reasons they hate DRM.
