    not to stop pirates, an unofficial street fighter 6 tourney on twitch had one freeze-gamer use a naked Chun-Li mod & capcom did this to stop modders embarrassing them

      That’s stupid. There have been coomer mods for Resident Evil for the past few years and no one gives a shit lol. People still praise their games. Why would you waste your reputation on something that essentially has no negative effect on you as a business? If they were a prudish company I’d understand. But you don’t get to make a giantess monster who throws around your puny body and cry when people goon

        The Chun Li incident was pretty public, coomer mods for the RE games are still pretty niche

          Yeah but I can’t imagine it was BAD publicity. Overwatch is just porn that someone decided go tack gameplay onto

            Capcom has been trying to get SF to be seen as a serious eSports for a while, it even broadcasted tournaments at ESPN in the past, and they even made a player switch a risque costume he was using in the finals once. So that Chun-Li thing? Yeah, wasn't a good look.

        It flashed up on screen very briefly before the tourney caught it and switched it off. Still embarrassing.
