Capcom is adding DRM to their old games, even singleplayer ones. This seems like an intentional move to prevent modding, but it also seems to decrease FPS and cause crashes. What the hell are they thinking?

This should be grounds for a refund if they are adding it post release.

I always pirate Capcom. Fuck those dweebs.

I'm guessing this is still related to that time where a guy running a tournament had his nude Chun-Li mod on.

Exactly why I no longer give ubisoft money.

Probably some outstanding service level agreement they walked into.

Look at all that good will. Capcom built up is now gone.

I'm sure this makes sense to the CEO-brain. It doesn't make sense to virtually anyone else, and it really just serves to make Capcom look like dicks.

Yeah, they get talked into it by some salesman and insist they use it even though it's almost always poorly received and never seems to have an impact on piracy.

The manager is thinking that they know better than programmers how things "should" be run, same as always.

This ended up being entirely false. This post should either be edited or removed.

edit: while there have been users doing personal research into this matter that casts doubt on it, there is no proof backing up what i just said. going to leave it here with an edit. my apologies.

thats a reddit thread of someone posting their own results lemme see if i can find a more ‘verifiable’ source

seems i can’t! hey! so i retract my original statement. i would still cast doubt on this but i now have no actual legs to stand on, my apologies.
