    I would ask what is the point of DRM that stops people from modding Resident Evil Revelations, a ten year old 3DS port, but clearly I don't make the decisions over at the multimillion dollar corporation so I wouldn't get it.

      Combo of the embarrassment over the nude Chun Li incident, and (almost certainly more importantly) the desire to stop people from moding in their DLC to SF6, since there was media coverage of people modding in the outfit 3 DLC.

      Doesnt explain doing it to old games tho really.

          Damn, the last time I heard of that happening, they gave me a lifetime ban from Walmart.

        nude Chun Li incident

        First I'm hearing of this, hilarious but god damn why did they have to come up with another reason for companies to try and crack down on modding.

        People want awooga in games they paid for and just modded, the company is still getting the cash so what's the harm?

        Are they butthurt over the Black Mirror thing?

    Portends badly. Capcom is one of my favorites, and I absolutely must mod/cheat in their games, for various reasons. One of them being, in recent RE games, they don't support 21:9 resolution, and the FOV is low enough to cause motion sickness for me. The REFramework mod fixes a lot of this.

      I also like being able to mod pants onto the trash fire they call female armor in their Monster Hunter games. Like I sincerely lost all interest in playing Rise on the switch since I wasn't able to do that lol

      I can't believe they don't have a real FOV slider yet. I think the in game one tops out in the high 70s or something? It's a serious accessibility issue for people who get motion sickness. I know they just lower the FOV to get better performance on the console versions but if you're already putting a slider in the game it better top out at 100 minimum

      This isn't even about profits as these old games have long since been cracked open. This is just some Japanese corporate dinosaurs throwing a tantrum about dirty rabble disrespecting their precious intellectual property rights

    Fuck, if they got rid of my "instantly gather all spiritbirds" mod from MHR I'll be pissed. It saved so much time!

      Really? Theyve kinda been on a roll for me core game quality wise. SF6 has bad monetization but the core game is amazing. And RE4R doesnt even have the monetization problem.

      Thats why this is crazy lol. Because theyve earned so much goodwill for most people, but between this DRM shit and the continual hellish monetization of SF6 theyve been ruining itm

        It's so annoying that you have to buy in-game funbux in weird increments to get additional costumes. I only wanted Kimberly 3 but now I have leftovers.

          It's intentional. Seriously governments should just ban funbucks (including bitcoin) all together.

            There's a note that the SF6 funbux expire after 180 days for players in Japan. Absolutely ridiculous

          At least your impulse isnt to compulsivly want all of them lol. And the battlepass content too, though i gave up on that after i didnt get anywhere with the first one.

          But yeah funbux suck.

            The key is to suck at fighting games enough that the thought of playing multiple characters is overwhelming lol.

              Oh I am that already. I just want all the goodies anyway lol. Completionist brain does not mix well with monetization.

        Never liked the Resident Evil games and the last time I played a Street Fighter game was probably more than twenty years ago. I can't remember the last time I saw a Capcom game that looked even remotely appealing to me.

          I thought it's rather obvious as all the game listed is popular amongst gamer and I've never met anyone who doesn't like even a single game listed above.

          Well, until today.

    i just want lost planet 3 (a real gameplay sequel to lost planet 2 that is, not the gears of war ripoff with admittedly kinda neat first person mech boxing that was the actual lost planet 3) and they pull this shit instead

        stalin-approval LP2 is still one of the best couch co-op games out there imo, classic arcadey gameplay, probably the best third person shooter ive ever played so far
