Resident Evil is being review bombed on Steam after allegations Capcom added new DRM

Did they disable the review option on this game? I don’t see it anymore.

I don’t get why all these game companies are suddenly so worried about cheats (and in Capcom’s case, mods) for games that aren’t even multiplayer. I’m old enough to remember when it was common that cheat codes were left in as little extras for the player, and I always thought they added a lot of replay value to the games that had them. I would have played 10,000% less Tomb Raider / GTA / etc without the cheat codes. I bought the damn game to have fun, let me have fun with it!

As a kid, I wouldn't even have bothered with the Sims without cheat codes. And I still wish I'd figured out how to use them in Sim City 3000 - the cities I could have built!

DRM of the always online variety means the game some day stops working, requiring you to buy the remake or remaster

That would happen anyway

I wonder how many times it needs to be demonstrated that DRM only hurts legitimate customers? (Looking at you Ubisoft)

I can almost guarantee pirates already have a work around for this DRM. And if not, just give it a couple of days.

Then, Capcom, the only players you’ll be left with are the ones you are not making money from.

I came really close to buying back in to the Resident Evil franchise a few days ago. This guarantees I will not . Fuck your DRM Capcom!

They don’t need to. They already have a copy of the game without it.

Capcom is testing it and see if it would work, and if you find the website that describes the tech it’s basically a encryption container + virtual machine(for whatever code module you decide to put into that, don’t know how much customization is that.) probably works in a way to prevent current straight de-compilation tools because it’s inside a sign/hash checked vm. I wouldn’t doubt that it works well for some word processor applications, but for games it’s gonna be very pita, I don’t even know how they are gonna profile their shipping build properly.

I hope Capcom have some senior engineer get the numbers and then tell the dumdum that said this is good idea to eat his words or maybe just avoid this shady looking product. (use a container tab)

It looks exactly like those spamming computer protection, optimization, virus removal, shady softwares.

vs the infamous Denuvo

I honestly don’t know why any one would have approved this “trial” run.

It’s not review bombing if they changed the product

Don't worry, what used to mean organized downvoting now means 'gets bad reviews' because no label retains its meaning once it is known to the general public.
