Capcom accused of adding new DRM to back catalog to prevent mods


Japanese gaming giant Capcom has been accused of adding a new DRM to it's older games that is causing performance issues for players.

A video surfaced on YouTube two months ago on the Capcom R&D channel of a presentation suggesting a will within the company to create its in-house DRM to work alongside Denuvo. It seems odd that Capcom would choose to re-protect such an old title and incur a cost for doing so, so there is potential that these accusations are inaccurate but reports that the Enigma Protector is blocking mods are rife on the Steam Community Forums. In the middle of 2023, Capcom was embarrassed when a Street Fighter 6 major tournament host forgot to turn off his nude Chun-Li mod and the show went live with viewers getting more than they perhaps bargained for.
